2023 U.S. Mint Clad 10 Coin Proof Set in OGP with CoA
The 2023 United States Mint Proof Set® contains 10 beautiful
proof coins, each bearing the “S” mint mark of the United States Mint at
San Francisco. It’s the perfect gift for special achievements,
promotions, graduations and more! One Native American $1 Coin – The obverse retains the
central figure of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste.
Inscriptions are “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” The reverse design
features Maria Tallchief in balletic pose. In addition to Tallchief,
four other American Indian ballerinas from Oklahoma achieved
international recognition in the 20th century, including her younger
sister Marjorie Tallchief, Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, and
Moscelyne Larkin. Celebrated as the “Five Moons,” their legacy of
achievement and inclusion continues to influence ballet today. A nod to
the Five Moons is presented in the lunar motif, while the four
ballerinas in the background are symbolic of both Tallchief’s American
Indian ballerina contemporaries and the generations of dancers they
inspired. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “MARIA
TALLCHIEF,” “$1,” and “AMERICAN INDIANS IN BALLET.”
