Description

The 2009 Satin Finish Native American Dollar - Missing Edge Lettering is a special strike dollar from the Sacagawea & Native American Dollars 2000 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 784,614 examples, making this the lowest mintage among 11 mint variants, representing only less than 1% of total production. The obverse features Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste Crapeau on her back and the reverse displays rotating designs honoring Native American contributions to the United States. The 2009 Native American Dollar honors the Three Sisters method of companion planting developed by Indigenous peoples, in which corn, beans, and squash are grown together. The reverse depicts a Native American woman planting seeds surrounded by the three crops. The reverse was redesigned annually beginning this year under the Native American $1 Coin Program, featuring different themes honoring Native American contributions.
