Obverse

The obverse of the 2026 1 oz Colorized Native America the Beautiful Vermont Silver Coin shows a member of the Missisquoi tribe striking flint to create fire. The Missisquoi are now largely represented through the Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi, which is located in Swanton, Vermont. This community continues to stay active in cultural preservation while also advocating for land rights and working toward federal recognition of their sovereign status.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2026 Colorized Native America the Beautiful Vermont Silver Coin is the familiar series design. At the center is the head of an American bald eagle within an eight-pointed star. Arrowheads surround the star, with one positioned between each point. This repeated layout helps keep the series visually connected from one release to the next.

History

The Missisquoi Abenaki have called the Lake Champlain region home for thousands of years. Long before European arrival, they developed strong traditions and a stable way of life centered around hunting, farming, and trade. When French explorers reached the area in the early 1600s, the Abenaki were already well established. Over time, disease outbreaks, war, and colonial settlement caused significant hardship, pushing many Abenaki communities north into Quebec. Some sought protection among the French and within Catholic mission villages, including St. Francis (Odanak).
