The Buffalo Nickel was the inspiration for the designs of the Gold Buffalo. The Buffalo Nickel, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, was designed by American sculptor James Earle Fraser. It was minted by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. The coin featured a Native American chief on the obverse (front) side and a buffalo (American bison) on the reverse (back) side.

On the obverse of 2024-W Proof American Gold Buffalos is an indigenous American figure. This right-profile relief showcases a stoic figure with braided hair and feathers woven in to the braids. Fraser’s portrait of the indigenous figure is a composite portrait combining the features of three real-world indigenous leaders from the early 20^th-century.

The reverse side of 2024-W 1 oz Proof Gold Buffalo Coins comes with a left-profile image of the American bison. Based on Black Diamond, a resident of New York City’s Central Park Zoo, the bison is depicted on a small mound of dirt as it grazes on the grass.
