24K Gold Plated Native American Dollar - 2020

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 theme of the 2020 Native American $1 Coin design is Elizabeth Peratrovich and Alaska’s Anti-Discrimination Law.

The first anti-discrimination law in the United States, prohibiting discrimination in access to public accommodations, was passed in the Alaskan territorial government in 1945. Elizabeth Peratrovich (Tlingit nation), through her advocacy for Alaskan Natives with her husband Roy and an impassioned speech in the Alaskan Senate in support of the law, is widely credited with getting it passed.

This coin is a special limited edition that is richly plated in pure 24 karat gold. Just a tiny fraction of the 2020 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.
