Beautifully Detailed Gold Buffalo Design
Obverse: A stoic Native American Chief is depicted facing right on the obverse. The facial attributes of the Chief are a composition of characteristics inspired by respected leaders of the Cheyenne, Sioux, and Kiowa Native American tribes. Inscribed “LIBERTY,” “2013,” the “W” Mint mark, and Fraser’s initial “F.”
Reverse: The rendition of an American buffalo on the reverse is modeled after the image of Black Diamond, an American buffalo that lived at the New York Central Park Zoo in the early twentieth century. The majestic creature stands upon a compacted mound of dirt inscribed with “$50” and “1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.” Additional inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
