Owner Comments:
The Native American Silver Dollar series has become an instant favorite among collectors since its launch in 2015, its popularity enduring as it’s continued to honor several tribal nations. Eventually a total of 50 tribes will be commemorated through this series, issued by the Native American Mint. Each coin celebrates a unique state, tribe and animal associated with a Native American tribal nation, in order to raise funds for Native American charities and increase awareness of Native American culture. Importantly, these are the only American, non-US government coins available to collectors today.
The fifth coin in the series is the Pennsylvania 2015 Silver Skunk Iroquois Proof, celebrating the extraordinary Iroquois nation. Historically, the Iroquois of the American Northeast were among the most fearsome and powerful tribes--known to the French as the Iroquois League, and later to the British as the Five Nations, and eventually as the Six Nations around the American Revolution. Today there are nearly 125,000 registered tribal members, split between Canada and the United States.
