The number of different finishes they did on this die!











The obverse (heads) design retains the central figure of the “Sacagawea” design first produced in 2000. It features Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste.

The reverse (tails) design features a portrait of Elizabeth Peratrovich, whose advocacy was considered a deciding factor in the passage of the 1945 Anti-Discrimination Law in the Alaskan Territorial Government. The foreground features a symbol of the Tlingit Raven moiety, of which she was a member.

 

Nice coin...and notable for me not so much for the bird reverse, but for the "crowned queen" obverse...one of the few if not the first I've ever seen (far from an expert on British coins).

 

Pretty sure have seen this before but can't resist commenting...so very stunning...wow!

 

Not my coins, but I didn't want to go rummaging through all of my coins to find one, and I didn't want to be left out. LOL

@TheNickelGuy I am glad you posted the eagle from the Bridgeport Connecticut commemorative. It receives little love but I do really like it. One day I will have one.
