Native American Collection

Owner Comments:

While many modern notions of Native Americans life is idealized, the truth is that many tribes had fierce warriors who were well trained. The Comanche were no exception, and while they have not engaged in wars as a tribe for some time, their history continues to be preserved to this day. This coin contributes to that preservation by featuring an image of a Comanche warrior. He looks directly at the holder and has a full feathered headdress that is typical of the tribe.

Featured on the reverse is one of the most iconic animals in the United States, the Texas Longhorn. College football fans know it for the famed ‘hook ‘em horns’ of the University of Texas. The species of cattle, which is raised by many Texas ranchers, is known for the feature that gives it its name. Perhaps no other animal in the country is so closely identified with a particular state.
