2018-W Proof Gold Buffalo: Three Chiefs and a Famous Bison
Three chiefs inspired the portrait on the 2018-W proof Gold Buffalo, and its bison is believed to be modeled on a resident of New York's Central Park Zoo. The U.S. Mint struck this coin at West Point from one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold. It comes in its original government packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and its proof finish sets frosted devices against mirrored fields.
The Faces Behind Fraser's Design
The obverse revives James Earle Fraser's Native American portrait from the Buffalo Nickel, which was struck from 1913 to 1938. Fraser modeled the profile on three chiefs, Big Tree, Iron Tail, and Two Moons. The reverse shows an American bison believed to be based on Black Diamond, who lived at New York's Central Park Zoo. Inscriptions include LIBERTY and 2018, along with Fraser's F and the W mintmark. The proof finish adds a striking contrast between the frosted devices and mirrored fields.
