| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Polly Cooper, the Oneida woman renowned for her humanitarian service during the winter encampment at Valley Forge, standing in three-quarter view and holding a basket of white corn. To her right, General George Washington stands facing her, his hat held at his side in a gesture of gratitude and respect. The composition commemorates the Oneida Nation's gift of corn to the starving Continental Army in 1778, symbolizing the alliance between the Oneida people and the American revolutionary cause. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the upper rim, with POLLY COOPER and ONEIDA ALLIES AT VALLEY FORGE inscribed in the field, and the denomination $1 appearing prominently. |

| Additional information |
The Oneida Nation was among the few Indigenous nations to actively support the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, supplying food — most notably several hundred bushels of white corn — to Washington's troops at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777–78, when starvation genuinely threatened the army's survival. Their alliance with the Americans put them in direct conflict with the other nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, particularly the Mohawk, fracturing a political union that had held for centuries.
This is the seventeenth coin in the Native American Dollar series, which Congress mandated in 2008 to replace the Sacagawea reverse annually.
