| Additional information |
The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation in Idaho hold a unique legal standing to issue their own coinage under tribal sovereignty provisions, placing them among a small number of Native American nations that have exercised this right for collector issues. This particular piece capitalizes on Sacagawea's Shoshone heritage — she was born into the Lemhi Shoshone, a related but distinct band from the Shoshone-Bannock — a connection the issuing authority has consistently emphasized in its numismatic program.
