The design of the American Buffalo gold bullion coin is a modified version of James Earle Fraser's design for the Indian Head nickel (Type 1), issued in early 1913. After a raised mound of dirt below the animal on the reverse was reduced, the Type 2 variation continued to be minted for the rest of 1913 and every year until 1938, except for 1922, 1932, and 1933 when no nickels were struck.
The highest karat version of rose gold, also known as crown gold, is 22 karat. Amongst the alloys made of gold, silver, and copper, the hardest is the 18.1 K pink gold (75.7% gold and 24.3% copper). An alloy with only gold and silver is the hardest at 15.5 K (64.5% gold and 35.5% silver).
Nuggets are usually 20.5 to 22 karat (k) purity, meaning they are 83% to 92% gold by mass. Gold nuggets in Australia are often 23 k or slightly higher, while Alaskan nuggets are usually at the lower end of the spectrum. Purity can be roughly assessed by nugget color: the richer and deeper the orange-yellow, the higher the gold content.
