Owner Comments:
Sacagawea was the teenage Shoshone Indian who guided Lewis and Clark and their Corps on their famous expedition across the Northern Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean and back. Without her geographical knowledge, translating skills, and her diplomatic ability, the expedition very well may have failed.
The obverse features Sacagawea with her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, who was born during the expedition. The reverse features a Bald Eagle and 17 stars - - one for each of the States in the Union in 1804.
