The Mohawk people, or Kanienkehka, referred to an important hunting ground along the Hudson River in New York as Serachtague, which we now know as Saratoga. This area, preserved today by the Saratoga National Historical Park in Stillwater, New York, is the site of a pivotal American victory during the Revolutionary War.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 2024 Proof Native America the Beautiful New York Coin, you will see two Mohawk tribal members, with one handing a bow to the other. This design is reminiscent of the US Mint’s ATB series, which depicted General Horatio Gates receiving the sword of British General John Burgoyne after the American victory at Saratoga.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2024 1 oz Proof NATB New York Silver Coin features an American bald eagle head at the center of an eight-pointed star, with arrowheads placed between each point of the star, a recurring element in this series.

History

Mohawk society is matrilineal, meaning descent and inheritance are traced through the mother’s line. They traditionally lived in longhouses, with extended families sharing these large, bark-covered structures. Their culture includes a rich oral tradition, with stories and legends passed down through generations.
