The obverse of the 2021 Gold Buffalo Coin features the dignified portrait of a Native American chief, adapted from the original 1913 Type 1 Buffalo Nickel by renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser. Fraser combined the facial features of three real tribal leaders to create a powerful composite symbolizing the spirit and dignity of America’s first peoples. Every line and contour is sharply struck, and in this MS70 example, the details reach their artistic peak — flawless and full of character.
On the reverse, an American bison stands proudly atop a mound of earth, a nod to the wildlife that once roamed the Great Plains in abundance. The inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” arches above, while “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, “IN GOD WE TRUST”, and the gold content (.9999 fine gold) are inscribed below. The bison design, said to be modeled after the famed “Black Diamond” from the Central Park Zoo, remains one of the most beloved motifs in American coinage — a reminder of both the nation’s rugged past and its enduring freedom.
