The United States Mint has updated the product page for its upcoming 25th Anniversary 2025-W Proof Sacagawea Gold Coin, providing complete details – now including a mintage limit of just 7,500 units, a household order limit of one, and full coin specifications. This year marks 25 years since the "Sacagawea Golden Dollar" first entered circulation. The anniversary gold coin is scheduled to launch on July 31 at noon ET.
Struck in half an ounce of .9999 fine 24‑karat gold at the West Point Mint, the 25th anniversary issue features the original 2000 obverse by Glenna Goodacre, depicting Sacagawea with her infant son, and the soaring eagle reverse by Thomas D. Rogers.
As previously reported, the coin omits weight and fineness inscriptions, remaining faithful to the original golden dollar’s design.
Pricing will follow the U.S. Mint’s recently revised pricing grid, which adjusts based on the gold price determined by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). If gold’s weekly average remains within the current $3,300.00 to $3,349.99 range at the time of release – the same tier currently used for other collector gold coins – the Sacagawea gold coin would launch at $2,175.
The following are the official specifications for the coin, as published by the U.S. Mint.

The original Sacagawea $1 coin debuted in 2000 as part of a broader push to establish a widely used small-size dollar. It featured a three-layer clad composition, with a pure copper core between outer layers of manganese brass. The circulation effort ended in 2002, after which the coin was issued exclusively for collectors through 2008. In 2009, the Mint launched the Native American $1 Coin Program, retaining the Sacagawea obverse while introducing annually rotating reverse designs honoring Native American contributions to U.S. history – also struck solely for collectors.
