The 2021 Sacagawea (Native American Dollar) (Buy on eBay) centers around the theme of Native Americans’ significant contributions to the U.S. Military, spanning from the Revolutionary War onward. Their dedication to military service has been remarkable, consistently exceeding the participation rates of any other ethnic group relative to their population. Native American soldiers have garnered recognition for their valor, earning five Medals of Honor.
The obverse showcases the portrait of Sacagawea and her infant child, a design crafted by Glenna Goodacre, with inscriptions that read “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
Brought to life by Donna Weaver, the reverse design features eagle feathers, historically earned by Native Americans through acts of bravery in battle or other courageous deeds. Five stars symbolize the five branches of the U.S. Military: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. The inscriptions on this side include “NATIVE AMERICANS – DISTINGUISHED MILITARY SERVICE SINCE 1775,” “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and “$1.”
