The Pueblo people are Native American tribes in the Southwestern United States, and they have a rich history and cultural heritage. The Puebloans are known for their complex societies, advanced agricultural practices, and distinctive adobe architecture. Some Pueblo groups, such as the Ancestral Puebloans (formerly known as the Anasazi), constructed impressive cliff dwellings, like those found at Mesa Verde in Colorado. These structures were built into the sides of cliffs and served as both residential and ceremonial spaces.
For the obverse field of 2024 Proof Native America the Beautiful Colorado Silver Coins, the mint features a depiction of a Sipapu within one of the cliff dwellings from the Mesa Verde complex. The word Sipapu comes from the Hopi language and refers to a small hole in the floor of a kiva, pithouse, or other rock dwelling. This hole is said to symbolize the portal through which ancient ancestors emerged in the present world.
On the reverse side of 2024 1 oz Proof Colorado Silver Coins, you will find the Native American Mint’s common design for the series. Here, the head of a bald eagle is shown in left-profile relief at the center of an eight-pointed star.
