Question by eletoes1972: What is the difference between these 2 coins?
I have 2 coins, same dollar amount, same color.
One is the Gold Liberty $ 1 Gold Coin with Mother & Child on front. Also on front of that coin is ” In God We Trust ” but no date is printed on the front, like it normally would. Turn the coin over & it has the Great Law of Peace symbol, under the symbol it says ” Haudenosaunee “.
The other one I have is the original Gold Liberty $ 1 Gold Coin with Mother & Child on front. On the front of that coin is the ” In God We Trust ” and the date ” 2000 “. On the backside is the Eagle & the words ” One Dollar “.
I thank you for your time & information.

A new series of circulating dollar coins was recently launched known as the Native American Dollars. These coins feature the obverse of the prior Sacagawea Dollar paired with an annually rotating reverse design which will celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Native Americans.
The series was authorized under Public Law 110-82, The Native American $ 1 Coin Act, which requires the United States Secretary of the Treasury to “mint and issue coins in commemoration of Native Americans and the important contributions made by Indian tribes and Individual Native Americans to the development of the United States.”
The first Native American Dollar was issued in 2009. The reverse design highlighted the “Three Sisters” method of planting with the depiction of a Native American woman planting seeds in a field of corn, beans and squash.
The design selected for the year 2010 was based on the theme ” Government – The Great Tree of Peace.” The design features the Hiawatha Belt which is a visual record of the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy. The belt encircles five arrows representing the Onondaga, Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca Nations.
For 2011, the theme will be “Diplomacy – Treaties with Tribal Nations.” The focus of the design will be the creation of the treaty between the Great Wampanoag Nation and the settlers at Plymouth Rock.
