Celebrate a major milestone in modern American bullion with the 2026-W 1/10 oz $5 Proof Gold American Buffalo Anniversary (w/Box & COA). Issued by the United States Mint for the 20th anniversary of the American Gold Buffalo, this special fractional Proof contains 1/10 troy oz of .9999 fine, 24-karat gold and carries a $5 face value. Struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the coveted “W” mint mark, the coin brings James Earle Fraser’s celebrated American designs to a convenient fractional format. This collectible comes complete with its original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
The American Gold Buffalo debuted in 2006 as the first .9999 fine, 24-karat gold bullion coin issued by the United States Mint. Its introduction gave collectors and precious metals buyers an American alternative to other high-purity government gold coins while reviving one of the most admired designs in U.S. numismatic history.
For 2026, the U.S. Mint marks the program’s 20th anniversary with special fractional Proof Gold Buffalo coins. The 1/10 oz $5 issue offers collectors a smaller-format version of the iconic coin while retaining the high gold purity and classic imagery that have defined the series for two decades. Its 2026 date also places the release within the year of the United States Semiquincentennial, adding another layer of historical significance to this anniversary Gold Buffalo.
