Theodore Roosevelt built his love for the outdoors during his years in the Dakota Badlands, and those experiences influenced the way he governed. As president, he worked hard to protect wild places, creating five national parks, 18 national monuments, and 150 national forests. Together, these actions safeguarded around 230 million acres of public land. Roosevelts tough, adventurous nature was widely admired, and he was often pictured with the tools that went with life on the frontier. One of the most recognizable was his Bowie knife, purchased in the 1880s and carried through his ranching days.

Design

The design of the 2026 Antique Samoa Silver Theodore Roosevelts Bowie Knife Coin is based on the blade Roosevelt was known to carry. During his ranching time in the Dakota Territory, he wore a Tiffany & Co. Bowie knife he bought in 1884. The knife blended rugged usefulness with fine craftsmanship, including an engraved silver handle and a fitted presentation case. Roosevelt reportedly kept it at his side on his belt, relying on it in daily work while also using it as a symbol of his Western identity.

History

For Roosevelt, the outdoors was more than a hobby. He saw it as a way to develop courage, health, and self-reliance. Those beliefs shaped his conservation work, which was grounded in both admiration for nature and a clear understanding that resources had to be managed wisely. He pushed for preservation not just to keep landscapes beautiful, but to ensure they remained usable and protected for generations. That balanced thinking is why hes often viewed as a standout conservation leader.
