The 2013 release of the American Gold Buffalo Coin included these reverse-proof specimens. The reverse-proof release features mirrored design elements over frosted background fields. This was done to create a coin to honor the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, the coin design that inspired the 2006 release of the 24-karat American Gold Buffalo Coin.
A stoic indigenous figure is featured on the obverse of 2013-W Reverse Proof Gold Buffalo Coins. This design was created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser using the physical characteristics of three different indigenous leaders from the early 20th century in the United States.
In the reverse design of 2013-W 1 oz Reverse Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins, you will find the image of an American bison. The largest land mammal on the North American continent, the bison shown here was also created by James Earle Fraser. He used Black Diamond, a resident bison at the Central Park Zoo as inspiration for his design.
