The 2009 $50 Gold Buffalo coin, produced by the United States Mint at the West Point facility, is a one-ounce 24-karat gold bullion coin. It features a design inspired by the iconic buffalo nickel, originally created by James Earle Fraser, showcasing a Native American on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. This coin is primarily valued for its gold content, but it has also become a collectible item due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
