2026 Native American $1 Coin Designs

Unlike other 2026 coins, the dollar carries no semiquincentennial markings on either its obverse or reverse.

Appearing on the reverse (tails side) is a design recognizing the Oneida Tribe at Valley Forge. This image was chosen from several design candidates introduced to the public in 2024.

Created by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist Beth Zaiken and sculpted by Medallic Artist Craig Campbell, the design depicts an Oneida woman, Polly Cooper, as she shares the Oneidas’ gift of corn with General Washington, who holds his hat in an expression of gratitude and respect. The scene symbolizes the tribe’s support of the starving Continental Army during the American Revolution as it fought for independence from Great Britain. Inscriptions above read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and POLLY COOPER, with $1 and ONEIDA ALLIES AT VALLEY FORGE below.

The obverse (heads side) retains Glenna Goodacre’s familiar design, which has appeared on every Native American $1 Coin, depicting Sacagawea with her infant son, Jean Baptiste. The obverse is inscribed with LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.

Inscriptions along the coin’s edge note the year of issue, the mint mark, and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM.
