Description: This listing is for a single coin from one of the two following mints (Philadelphia & Denver). The 2023 Native American $1 Coin obverse (heads) design retains a portrait of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste. The 2023 reverse design features Maria Tallchief in balletic pose. Tallchief was America’s first prima ballerina, and she and her husband, George Balanchine, transformed American classical ballet. In addition to Tallchief, four other American Indian ballerinas from Oklahoma achieved international recognition in the 20th century, including her younger sister Marjorie Tallchief, Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, and Moscelyne Larkin. Celebrated as the “Five Moons,” their legacy of achievement and inclusion continues to influence ballet today. A nod to the Five Moons is presented in the lunar motif, while the four ballerinas in the background are symbolic of both Tallchief’s American Indian ballerina contemporaries and the generations of dancers they inspired. The Sacagawea Golden Dollar (now referred to as the Native American $1 Coin) was first released in 2000 and has had a changing reverse (tails) design since 2009 with an image emblematic of one important Native American or Native American contribution. The year of minting, mint mark, and inscription “E PLURIBUS UNUM” are incused on the edge of the coins. Photos & Info from the US Mint. United States Mint coins are rolled by an automated machine process and not by hand, therefore coins may contain minor marks or scratches from the minting process.
