The new American Buffalo Gold coin obverse and reverse designs feature images originally prepared by noted
American sculptor James Earle Fraser, once a student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, for America’s 5-cent coin (nickel).

The Native American depiction on the coin’s obverse is believed to be based on three different Indian chiefs two of
whom were named by the designer as Chief Iron Tail and Chief Two Moons – who modeled for Fraser as he sculpted
its design. Conflicting statements exist on the third Indian as being either Chief John Big Tree of the Onondaga tribe
or John Two Guns, son of White Calf. It is widely believed that the bison on the coins reverse was modeled after
"Black Diamond," a popular attraction at the New York Zoological Gardens.

The Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins are the first .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins ever struck by the United States Mint.
These $50 gold coins will be offered to members of the public by Goldmasters USA for those seeking a simple and
tangible means to own and invest in 24-karat gold in the form of legal tender coins whose content and purity is
guaranteed by the United States Government.

All 24-karat American Buffalo Gold coins will be struck at the United States Mint at West Point.
