Sacagawea is remembered for her vital contributions during one of the most important explorations in U.S. history. Her deep understanding of the terrain, ability to connect with Native American communities, and her resourcefulness helped the expedition succeed in its mission to map the Louisiana Territory. Her presence also helped convey peaceful intentions to the tribes the explorers encountered along the way.

The obverse of the 2025-W Proof American Gold Sacagawea Golden Dollar features a portrait of Sacagawea in profile. She’s shown with her young son, Jean Baptiste, carried on her back. Her facial features reflect traditional Shoshone characteristics.

The reverse design on the 2025-W 1/2 oz Proof Gold Sacagawea Coin displays an eagle in flight. Surrounding the bird are 17 stars, symbolizing the number of U.S. states at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804.
