Key Fact
Description
This Sacagawea dollar coin features a striking portrayal of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, on her back. The obverse, designed by Glenna Goodacre, captures the strength and determination of the Shoshone woman. The reverse, designed by Thomas D. Rogers, depicts a majestic eagle in flight, symbolizing freedom and national pride. Minted in Philadelphia, this circulating dollar coin is a testament to a significant figure in American history.
History
The Sacagawea dollar was introduced to honor the contributions of Native Americans, specifically Sacagawea, a Lemhi Shoshone woman who played a vital role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Her journey, undertaken when she was just a teenager, was crucial for the success of the expedition's exploration of the Louisiana Purchase. The coin's design aims to recognize her bravery and significance in westward expansion.
Facts
The Sacagawea dollar coin is part of the Native American $1 Coin Program, which features a different reverse design annually, each highlighting various aspects of Native American culture and history. The distinctive golden color of the coin is due to its manganese-brass composition, differentiating it from traditional silver-colored dollar coins. It is commonly mistaken for gold but is actually a clad metal.
Value Fact
Sacagawea dollars in uncirculated condition are readily available, making them an accessible entry point for collectors. While individual coins may have low market value, complete sets or coins with significant mint errors can command higher prices. Demand is driven by collectors interested in modern U.S. coinage and those seeking to complete their sets of the annual Native American dollar designs.
