2025 1 oz Ag NATB Wisconsin Odawa Apostle Isands (Colorized)

This modern silver round represents a striking tribute to Wisconsin's indigenous heritage, issued as part of the Native America the Beautiful series. Authorized by the sovereign nation of Mesa Grande, the round is struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver. It carries a proof finish, enhanced by colorized elements that bring its intricate details to life. With a limited mintage of only 1,000 pieces, it stands as a highly detailed work of numismatic art. The obverse of the round features a powerful bald eagle emblem, which is beautifully framed by a traditional native star pattern. Inscriptions on this side include "NATIVE AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL," "MESA GRANDE SOVEREIGN NATION," "ONE OUNCE AG 0.999," and "1 DOLLAR," establishing its origin and metal purity. On the reverse, the design depicts the famous Odawa leader, Chief Pontiac, raising a war hatchet. This dramatic imagery draws inspiration from the historical conflict known as Pontiac's War. The reverse is inscribed with "PONTIAC," "WISCONSIN," "ODAWA," and the year "2025," linking the piece directly to the history of the Great Lakes region.
