Absolutely..!! And if not Sequoyah himself, perhaps a Trail of Tears reverse. After all, 2013 will be the 175th Anniversary of that terrible event.

‘‘(I) the creation of Cherokee written language;
‘‘(II) the Iroquois Confederacy;
‘‘(III) Wampanoag Chief Massasoit;
‘‘(IV) the ‘Pueblo Revolt’;
‘‘(V) Olympian Jim Thorpe;
which in my extremely limited knowledge (shame on me) don’t seem to follow the aforementioned directive except possibly for Jim Thorpe who I think would be a great topic for a regular commemorative coin in 2018 (130 yrs anniversary of his birth). And the code talkers who got a bronze medal but never a commemorative coin.

Not sure how the Cherokee written language contributed to the US or its history. But I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to a Sequoyah reverse.

Wouldn’t SEQUOYAH the great Cherokee holding a table of the alphabet he invented make a great reverse?
