2023 1 oz Silver NATB Maryland Fort McHenry (Box/COA)

---

This striking 2023 silver coin offers a fascinating glimpse into Native American history, authorized by the sovereign nation of the Mesa Grande. Struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, the coin features a Proof finish that highlights its intricate details and historical themes. The reverse of the coin depicts a fortified village belonging to the Susquehannock people. An Iroquoian speaking tribe, the Susquehannock lived independently along the Susquehanna River and its tributaries, remaining separate from any confederacy into the 1600s. Their name is believed to translate to "people of the Muddy River," and their communities were characterized by these fortified structures designed to protect their settlements. On the obverse, the coin displays the bald eagle emblem, which is encircled by a native star pattern. The design also incorporates clear inscriptions detailing the coin's weight, its silver purity, and the issuing country, celebrating both native heritage and sovereign identity in a limited mintage of just 1,000 pieces.
