The Native American $1 Coin program honors and recognizes the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans.
The 2026 Native American $1 Coin obverse (heads) design retains a portrait of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste.
The reverse (tails) design portrays Polly Cooper holding a basket as she shares the Oneidas’ gift of corn with General Washington, who holds his hat in an expression of gratitude and respect. The design represents the generosity, courage, and sacrifice of the Oneida during the American Revolutionary War.
The coins—minted at the Philadelphia and the Denver Mints—have circulating finishes but have never been placed into circulation. However, they may still be used as legal tender.
Available in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags
