The United States Mint released today rolls, bags, and boxes of the 2020 Native American $1 Coins. The dollar features a one-year-only design themed on Elizabeth Peratrovich and Alaska’s 1945 Anti-Discrimination Law.
New products include 25-coin rolls, 100-coin bags and 250-coin bags. All options contain circulating dollars struck at the U.S. Mint facilities in Philadelphia or Denver.
2020 Native American Dollar Coin Designs
A likeness of Peratrovich appears on the new dollar’s reverse, along with a symbol of the Tlingit Raven moiety, of which she was a member. Reverse inscriptions read: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ELIZABETH PERATROVICH, $1, and ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW OF 1945.
U.S. Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill created and sculpted the design.
Found on the dollar’s obverse (heads) is a portrait of Sacagawea as designed by sculptor Glenna Goodacre. The same image has appeared on dollar coins since the release of the 2000 Sacagawea golden dollar. Inscriptions around Sacagawea read: LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.
The year, mint mark, and E PLURIBUS UNUM are incused on the edge every dollar.
