The obverse of the 2026 1 oz Colorized Silver NATB Vermont Coin depicts a Missisquoi tribal member using flint to ignite a fire. The Missisquoi are now mainly represented by the Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi in Swanton, Vermont. This group remains committed to keeping cultural traditions alive, protecting its historic land connections, and continuing its efforts toward official federal recognition.
On the reverse of the 2026 Colorized Silver Native America the Beautiful Vermont Coin is the shared reverse design used for the entire collection. The center of the design features the head of an American bald eagle inside an eight-pointed star. Arrowheads appear around the star, with one placed between each point. This consistent design element is used to create a uniform appearance across the series.
The Missisquoi Abenaki have lived along Lake Champlain for thousands of years, with a long history that began well before European explorers reached the region. By the early 17th century, they were already successful hunters, farmers, and traders when the French first arrived. The colonial era brought difficult change, including disease, conflict, and forced displacement caused by expanding settlements and the French and Indian Wars. Many Abenaki people eventually moved north into Quebec, where some joined French communities and Catholic mission villages such as St. Francis (Odanak).
These 2026 1 oz Colorized Silver Native America the Beautiful Vermont Coins are available individually and come housed in plastic capsules. Each coin is packaged with a themed outer shipper and includes a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint. The added colorization enhances the obverse scene and helps bring more detail and life to the overall artwork.
