The 2021 Native American Dollar honors the distinguished record of Native Americans serving in every branch of the U.S. military since the American Revolution.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value is approximately $10.
