2016 American Native American 1 Dollar Coin, Code Talker, World War I & II

[Product Description]

This is a Native American one-dollar coin issued by the United States Mint in 2016. Its design honors the "code talkers" of the indigenous people who played a crucial role in military communications during World War I and World War II.

Code talkers were soldiers who used codes based on Native American languages to transmit crucial information such as troop movements and enemy positions. These codes were extremely difficult for enemy forces to decipher, and are believed to have supported many operations and saved the lives of countless soldiers.

On the reverse side, military helmets from World War I and World War II are displayed side by side, each with a feather positioned behind it. The words "WWI," "WWII," and "CODE TALKERS" are engraved, symbolizing the courage and achievements of the code talkers who distinguished themselves in both world wars.

The obverse depicts Native American woman Sacagawea and her young son, Jean-Baptiste, being carried on her back. This collectible coin possesses educational value and a narrative that tells the story of Native American history, military history, and the history of communication technology.

*Although it has a gold color, it is not a gold coin. It is a clad coin made of manganese brass.
