Made from 24-carat gold, the American Gold Buffalo contains exactly 31.1035 grams of pure gold. Produced by the U.S. Mint since 2006, it is the first-ever 1-ounce, 24-carat gold coin issued by the United States.

The 2023 1oz Gold Buffalo features a profile of a Native American man, designed by American sculptor James Earle Fraser. The reverse depicts an American bison, commonly referred to as the American buffalo in both the US and Canada.

Why Buy 1oz Gold Coins?

One-ounce gold coins offer an efficient way to invest in gold with a relatively low premium. While larger gold bars, such as 1kg bars, provide the lowest price per gram, they are not always the most practical option.

Buying 1oz gold bullion coins allows investors to divide their gold holdings into smaller, more manageable units. This enhances liquidity, making it easier to sell part of an investment while retaining the rest. If cash is needed in the future, investors can sell a few 1oz gold coins rather than a single large bar.

For this reason, it is often worth paying a slightly higher premium for 1oz gold coins in exchange for greater flexibility and ease of resale.
