The American Buffalo, also known as the Gold Buffalo, is a 24-karat gold bullion coin first offered for sale by the US Mint on June 22, 2006. This is the first time the US Government ever minted .9999 24-karat gold coins for the public. The coin has a legal tender (face) value of US$50.

The design of the American Buffalo gold bullion coin is a modified version of James Earle Fraser's design of the Buffalo nickel (Type 1), issued in early 1913. The obverse depicts a Native American man, who Fraser said he based on a mixture of features from three American Indian men from three different tribes that posed for him to be sketched. On the reverse stands an American bison on a mound of dirt, commonly referred to as a buffalo. This animal is believed by most to be a bison named "Black Diamond" that lived in New York City's Central Park Zoo during the 1910s.
