This coin is a stunning example of the American Gold Buffalo series, specifically a Gold Buffalo issued in 2006 by the West Point Mint in the United States. Struck in 24-karat gold, it carries a denomination of $50, reflecting its intrinsic value as both currency and collector's item. With a diameter of 32 millimeters and a weight of 31.1 grams (1 ounce), this coin is a hefty representation of American gold coinage. The coin's mintage is limited to 337,012 pieces, making it a relatively sought-after item among collectors. The design features the iconic American bison on the reverse, a homage to the original Buffalo Nickel, while the obverse showcases a beautifully rendered portrait of a Native American. This combination of historical significance and artistic beauty makes the Gold Buffalo series particularly desirable for numismatists. Each coin is a testament to American craftsmanship and serves as both a hedge against inflation and a captivating collector's piece. Given its high relief design and gold content, this coin not only holds monetary value but also embodies a rich narrative of American heritage.
