The Native American $1 Coin

Current Design

The obverse (heads side) design remains the central figure of the "Sacagawea" design first produced in 2000 and contains the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.

The reverse (tails) design changes each year to celebrate an important contribution of Indian tribes, or individual Native Americans, and contain the inscriptions $1 and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Like the Presidential $1 Coins, the Native American $1 Coins maintain their distinctive edge and golden color and feature edge-lettering of the year, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM.

The theme for the 2012 Native American $1 Coin is "Trade Routes in the 17th Century."  Its reverse design features a Native American and horse in profile with horses running in the background, representing the historical spread of the horse.  The design includes the required inscriptions, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1.
