2023 D MARIA TALLCHIEF NATIVE AMERICAN DOLLAR. UNCIRCULATED. VERY LOW MINTAGE

Description: OSAGE NATION, OKLA. (February 6, 2023) – The United States Mint releases its new $1 coin today, featuring the Osage Nation’s own Maria Tallchief (1925 - 2013). In the background on the coin, in silhouette, are depicted her sister Marjorie Tallchief (1926 - 2021), as well as Yvonne Chouteau (Cherokee, 1929 - 2016), Moscelyne Larkin (Peoria, 1925 - 2012), and Rosella Hightower (Choctaw, 1920 - 2008). Collectively, these five Native ballerinas, all from Oklahoma tribal nations, became known as the “Five Moons.” “My mother would have been so moved by being included on the dollar coin,” says Elise Paschen, Tallchief’s daughter, who is a renowned poet and professor at the Art Institute of Chicago. “I worked with the US Mint on the design of the silver dollar and am pleased that the Five Moons were incorporated.” The U.S. Mint themed the coin “Maria Tallchief and American Indians in Ballet,” which is engraved on the coin. The new coin continues the U.S. Mint’s $1 Coin Program that began in 2009 to celebrate the important contributions made by tribal nations and individual Native people to the history and development of the United States. The program was authorized by the Native American $1 Coin Act (Public Law 105-124) that was signed into law in 1997. The coin series follows the release of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar (2000 to 2008), which features a portrait of Sacagawea on the obverse side (heads) with an eagle on the reverse (tails side). The reverse side of these coins changes year-to-year, however.LESS THAN 1.2 MILLION OF THESE COINS WERE PRODUCED.THE COIN SHOWN IS THE COIN THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.I WILL SHIP THIS COIN TO ALL UNITED STATES ADDRESSES FREE OF CHARGE.PLEASE VIEW MY OTHER LISTINGS ON eBay.THANK YOU.
