American Buffalo 2021
1 ounce of fine gold, proof
American Buffalo 2021, bison side with the American bison
An American bison and the portrait of a Native American, after the designs James Earle Fraser created for the US five-cent piece of 1913. Issued by the United States Mint.
Fraser’s choice
Two images for one country.
James Earle Fraser was born in 1876 in Winona, Minnesota, and grew up on the prairie near Mitchell, South Dakota. He studied in Paris and under Augustus Saint-Gaudens, then opened his own studio in New York.
In 1913 his five-cent piece went into circulation, the “Buffalo Nickel”. On one side he placed the portrait of a Native American, on the other an American bison. According to the Smithsonian, Fraser chose both as “indisputable representatives of the nation”.
According to the United States Mint, the nickel was thus one of the first to depart from the customary eagle or wreath. It was struck until 1938.
Several Native Americans sat for the portrait.
“My purpose was not to make a portrait but a type.”
Since 2006 a gold coin has borne both images as well: the American Buffalo.
The bison
From a few dozen animals, herds grew again.
Before the mid-19th century, perhaps 30 to 60 million bison roamed North America, most of them on the Great Plains. By the 1890s there were fewer than 1,000.
Yellowstone is the only place in the US where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times. In 1902 the herd there still numbered about two dozen animals. In the same year, 21 bison from two private herds were added. From both groups grew the two large herds that live in the national park today.
Since 9 May 2016, the bison has been the national mammal of the USA by law.
In gold since 2006
Fraser’s images in 24 karat.
The American Buffalo coins are “the first .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins ever struck by the United States Mint”. Some of the first were struck at West Point in June 2006.
It rests on a law of 2005. The law requires one ounce in weight and 99.99 percent gold, and for the first year of issue it prescribed Fraser’s original design, the “1913 Type 1”. The coin is issued as legal tender with a face value of 50 dollars.
Value, weight and fineness are incused in the grassy mound beneath the bison: “$50” and “1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD”. On the portrait side are “LIBERTY”, the year and below it Fraser’s initial “F”.
On a proof the field is mirrored and the design frosted, as the United States Mint describes its traditional proofs.
