Obverse

On the obverse of the 2026 Proof Native America the Beautiful Vermont Silver Coin, you will find an image of a Missisquoi tribal member starting a fire with flint. The Missisquoi today are primarily represented by the Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi in Swanton, Vermont, which continues to focus on cultural preservation and advocacy for recognition.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Proof NATB Vermont Silver Coin showcases the standard series artwork. It features the head of a bald eagle centered in an eight-pointed star, with arrowheads arranged between each point of the star.

History

The Missisquoi belong to the Abenaki people and have historic ties to the Missisquoi River delta and the eastern edge of Lake Champlain. This homeland stretches across what is now northwestern Vermont and southern Quebec. As part of the Western Abenaki nation, the Missisquoi maintain traditions linked to the Algonquian language family and a longstanding connection to the forests, rivers, and wildlife of the region.
