The obverse and reverse sides of the American Buffalo Gold bullion coin features the images by the American sculptor James Earle Fraser, a pupil of Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
Obverse
The obverse side of the 1oz. American Buffalo Gold bullion coin depicts a Native American Indian Chief.
The image was taken from the "Indian Head," or "Buffalo Nickel" which was introduced in 1913.
James Earle Fraser, the designer of the obverse side, said he created the design by mixing the features of three Great Indian Chiefs from different American Indian tribes.
The three Indian Chiefs were Big Tree (Kiowa Indians), Iron Tail (Sioux Indians), and Two Moons (Cheyenne Indians), all who posed as models, for him to sketch.
"LIBERTY" is inscribed along the top perimeter of the bullion coin.
This side of the coin also displays the gold coin's 'Year of Issue,' which is located in the Indian's shoulder above the letter 'F' which is the last initial for James Earle Fraser.
The Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin has no Mint Mark.
