The Buffalo is struck at the West Point Mint and has a “W” mintmark. It is made of 24-karat, or .9999 fine gold, and it features the famous James Earle Fraser design originally used on the nickel 1913-1938.

The Mint says the Buffalo proof gold coin “is presented in an elegant hardwood box with a matte finish and a faux leather inset. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.”
