The United States Mint will begin accepting orders for the 2020 American Buffalo One Ounce Gold Proof Coin (product code 20EL) on April 9 at noon EDT.
First issued in 2006, the American Buffalo One Ounce Gold Proof Coin was the first 24-karat gold proof coin ever struck by the Mint and is the collector version of the official United States Mint American Buffalo One Ounce Gold Bullion Coin.
Designs featured on this coin are based on the 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel by sculptor James Earle Fraser. The obverse portrays a profile representation of a Native American with the inscriptions “LIBERTY” and “2020.” The reverse features an American Buffalo (also known as a bison) and the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “$50,” “1 OZ.,” and “.9999 FINE GOLD.”
In 2020, each coin is now housed in a brown leatherette presentation case with the Mint seal embossed on top and an image of a buffalo foil stamped in a golden color on the pillow insert. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with each coin.
The 2020 American Buffalo One Ounce Gold Proof Coin is priced according to the range in which it appears on the Mint’s Pricing of Numismatic Gold, Commemorative Gold, Platinum, and Palladium Products table. Current pricing information is available here.
