Interesting fact
The American Buffalo gold coin has a unique design, featuring a profile of a Native American on the obverse (front) side, and an American bison on the reverse (back) side. The coin's design is based on the classic Buffalo nickel, which was minted from 1913 to 1938. The use of a Native American and an animal on the coin's design was a departure from the traditional depiction of Lady Liberty on US coins, and was intended to symbolize the American West and the country's natural resources.
