Description

The 2016 (W) American Buffalo .9999 Fine Gold Fifty Dollar, struck at the West Point Mint, is part of the American Buffalo Gold 2006 to Date collection. The Mint sold 219,500 one-ounce American Buffalo bullion coins in 2016, by its calendar-year sales figures; it publishes no count by date for these years. The obverse features James Earle Fraser's Native American portrait from the 1913 Buffalo nickel, which Fraser said combined the features of three chiefs, Iron Tail, Two Moons and Big Tree, and the reverse displays his American bison standing on a mound. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck in 99.99% gold, weighing 31.11 grams, 32.7 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #593803.
