These 2013 Reverse Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins have mirrored design elements overlaying frosted background fields. The reverse proof offering in the American Gold Buffalo in 2013 was to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of the 1913 debut of the Buffalo Nickel, the design depicted on this modern gold bullion coin.

On the obverse side of 2013 1 oz Reverse Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins is a depiction of a stoic indigenous leader. He is featured in right-profile relief with braided hair and a feather woven into his hair. The design was created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser by combining the facial features of three 20^th-century tribal leaders.

The reverse face of 2013-W 1 oz Reverse Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins includes a vision of the American bison. The largest land mammal in North America, the bison is shown here in left-profile relief on a small mound of dirt. Fraser created this portrait of the bison using Black Diamond, a resident of the Central Park Zoo, as inspiration.
