24K Gold Plated Native American Dollar - 2015

Starting in 2009, the Sacagawea Dollar became the Native American Dollar, with each year’s coin featuring a different reverse design honoring Native American culture and history. 

The 2015 reverse design honors the Mohawk tribe’s contribution to building the New York City skyline, especially the daring high ironworkers who have built the city’s skyscrapers since 1886. The design shows a Mohawk ironworker during construction of a building in New York.  The Chrysler Building and Empire State Building can be seen in the city behind the worker.  Mohawks helped construct these buildings, as well as other landmarks such as Rockefeller Center, the World Trade Center, and One World Trade Center.

This coin is a special limited edition that is richly plated in pure 24 karat gold. Just a tiny fraction of the 2015 coins have been set aside for this gold-plated edition. Gold-layered coins are not available from the U.S. Mint but only through special offers like this.

The obverse of the coin retains the portrait of Sacagawea, the first identifiable Native American on a circulating U.S. coin.
