The obverse of the 1936 Oregon Trail Commemorative Coin shows a Native American standing in full headdress before a map of the United States, gesturing westward toward the setting sun. Designed by James Earle Fraser and Laura Gardin Fraser, this powerful image symbolizes both the indigenous presence and the westward migration that transformed the continent.
