American Gold Buffalo coins were introduced in 2006 as the first 24-karat gold coins for sale from the US Mint. The coins are available in bullion and proof options like the American Gold Eagle, but the Gold Buffalo’s fractional-weight offering was available only in proof and has since been suspended in favor of only the 1 oz coin annually.

On the reverse face of 2018-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins, you’ll find the left-profile view of an American bison. This design of the bison, also known as a buffalo, is based upon the image of Black Diamond.
