The $5 Gold Buffalo coin, officially known as the American Gold Buffalo, is a notable collectible coin produced by the United States Mint. It features a design based on the famous Buffalo Nickel, with a Native American on the obverse side and an American buffalo on the reverse. The coin contains one-quarter ounce of 24-karat gold, making it a popular choice among investors and collectors alike. First minted in 2006, the Gold Buffalo coin aims to provide both aesthetic appeal and intrinsic value due to its gold content. It is legal tender with a face value of $5, but its market value often exceeds this based on the precious metal's fluctuating prices.
