The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features the iconic portrait of Sacagawea, the Shoshone guide who aided the Lewis and Clark expedition, carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste. Her forward-looking gaze symbolizes the vision and strength of Native American women, rendered in stunning detail that captures both dignity and determination.
Reverse: A dramatic design showcasing a Mohawk ironworker against the backdrop of a steel beam and rivets, capturing the essence of high-steel construction. The imagery honors the Mohawk people's remarkable legacy in building America's most iconic structures. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing through today, Mohawk ironworkers became renowned for their fearlessness and exceptional balance while working hundreds of feet above ground. The design pays tribute to these "skywalkers" who shaped America's urban landscape, walking steel beams with confidence and pride that became synonymous with Native American excellence in a demanding trade.
Why Collectors Choose This Set
The story of Mohawk ironworkers is one of courage, skill, and cultural pride. These workers traveled from the Kahnawake reserve near Montreal and other communities to build the bridges and skyscrapers that define American cities. Their contributions to landmarks like the Empire State Building, World Trade Center, and countless bridges represent an essential chapter in both Native American and American labor history. This 2015 set captures that legacy while providing collectors with pristine examples from both major U.S. Mints. For those who appreciate labor history, Native American heritage, architectural achievement, or the ongoing Native American Dollar series, this release represents an essential tribute to the men who literally built America's skyline.
