2017 American Native American 1 Dollar Coin, Sequoia Tree, Cherokee Script

 [Product Description]
 This is a Native American one-dollar coin issued by the United States Mint in 2017. The theme for that year was the achievements of the redwood tree, which invented the Cherokee alphabet.

 Sequoia spent approximately 12 years perfecting his own writing system for each syllable of the Cherokee language. His demonstrations of the system's practicality, along with those of his daughter Ayoka, led to its rapid spread among the Cherokee people. In 1821, the Cherokee Nation officially adopted the system, and it is believed that many people learned to read and write it in a short period of time.

 The reverse side depicts a sequoia tree holding a quill pen and writing. In addition to the English word "SEQUOYAH," the outer edge is inscribed with Cherokee script, a design that symbolizes the historical achievement of creating the Cherokee alphabet.

 The front features a portrait of Sacagawea carrying her young son, Jean-Baptiste, on her back. It's a narrative piece, typical of a series that conveys the culture and history of Native Americans.

 Although this coin has a golden appearance, it is not a gold coin. It is legal tender of the United States, manufactured from a copper-based alloy.
