American Gold Buffalo bullion coins are based on the historic Buffalo Nickel, or Indian Head Nickel, coin from the US Mint. The US Nickel design in question was created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser and used on the namesake coin through 1938.

On the obverse of the 2015 1 oz Proof Gold Buffalo Coin, you will find a depiction of an indigenous figure. This design was created in 1913 by Fraser and captures the tribal figure in right-profile relief with a stoic look on his face.

The reverse field of 2015-W Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins comes with a depiction of the American bison. One of two subspecies of bison on the North American continent, the American bison, or Plains bison, is the larger of the two and inhabits the open plains of the Central and Midwestern regions of the United States.
