AMERICAN INDIAN NATION COINS

it is their right as sovereign nations, some American Indian tribes
have issued their own coins. The designs reflect tribal
heritage, history and heroes. Though they do not circulate,
the coins have proved popular with collectors throughout the
world. Most of the silver coins included in the Standard
Catalog of World Coins.
COINS ISSUED BY AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES:
CREEK
NATION SILVER
DOLLARS
The Poarch Creek Indians are descendent of the original Creek Nation,
which once covered almost all of Alabama and Georgia. Unlike many
eastern Indian tribes, the Poarch Creeks were not removed from their
tribal lands and have lived together for almost 200 years in and around
their reservation in Poarch, Alabama. In 1984 the United States
government officially recognized the tribe. They are the only federally
recognized tribe in Alabama. In 2004 the tribe authorized its
first coins to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their recognition as
a tribe by the United States government. Two different 1 troy
ounce
.999 fine silver 40mm 1 dollar coins were struck for the tribe each
year from 2004 to 2007. Only 20,000 of each were struck in
Brilliant Uncirculated condition. It is now difficult to find a
complete set of these attractive coins.
