Obverse

On the obverse of the 2025 1 oz Proof Native America the Beautiful Minnesota Coin, youll see a Dakota tribal member fishing from a canoe. Hes floating on a quiet body of water, one of many in the region that supported the tribe for food, movement, and ceremonial life. Important lakes like Superior and Lake of the Woods were essential parts of the Dakota’s spiritual and cultural identity.

Reverse

The reverse shows the familiar image used throughout the Native America the Beautiful Series. In the center is a bald eagles head, a strong symbol of freedom and heritage. Around the eagle, an eight-pointed star frames the design, with arrowheads filling in each space between the stars tips.

History

The Dakota people built a strong culture around seasonal traditions. They moved based on the time of year to hunt, fish, gather, and plant crops. Corn, beans, and squash were main foods, and the Dakota shared trade routes with tribes across the Plains and Great Lakes to exchange items and build community relationships.
