The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The obverse continues the iconic design featuring Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition, carrying her infant son Jean-Baptiste on her back. Her determined gaze looks toward the future, symbolizing hope and perseverance. The inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" frame this powerful portrait, while the distinctive golden color catches the light beautifully.

Reverse: The reverse design presents a dignified portrait of Mary Kawena Pukui adorned in traditional Hawaiian dress—a vibrant muʻumuʻu with aloha print, a kukui nut lei draped gracefully around her neck, and a delicate hibiscus flower in her hair. Stylized water motifs flow in the background, representing the fluidity and life of language. The Hawaiian phrase "Nānā I Ke Kumu" ("Look to the Source") serves as a poignant reminder of Pukui's life's work, alongside "United States of America" and the denomination "$1."
