- The 2023 reverse design features Maria Tallchief in balletic pose.
Tallchief was America’s first major prima ballerina, and she and her
husband, George Balanchine, transformed American classical ballet. 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.” - These 2023 Native American $1 Coins with Proof finishes have never been placed into circulation.
- S Mint Mark Coins are from the San Francisco Mint.
