The Buffalo is minted in .9999 fine gold (24 karat) rather than the .9167 (22 karat) pure metal used for the Eagle. While both coins contain a full troy ounce of gold, the Buffalo is slightly smaller in size because it does not contain the alloy metals, meaning no silver and copper.

The gold American Buffalo is a striking coin with a profile image of a Native American chieftain stamped on one side and the iconic Buffalo on the other. It is a "legal tender"and carries a denomination of $50. Each coin is guaranteed by the US Mint for the weight and purity marked on the reverse side - 1 oz .9999 fine gold.

Investors who buy this coin tend to love it. The design is quite familiar, with a rough sculpted finish.
