Obverse

Immerse yourself in the obverse beauty of the 2008-W Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins, where James Earle Fraser’s extraordinary craftsmanship unveils a solemn indigenous figure. Crafted in right-profile relief, this profound representation artfully blends the facial characteristics of three visionary tribal leaders from the early 20th century, forging a captivating homage.

Reverse

Behold the captivating reverse design of the 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalos, as James Earle Fraser expertly brings to life the majestic American bison. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Black Diamond, Fraser’s left-profile relief beautifully portrays the buffalo with its head lowered, engrossed in grazing upon a bountiful mound of grass and soil.
