The Shawnee are a Native American people historically associated with the Midwest and Eastern United States. Originally inhabiting areas in Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, they were forced to relocate multiple times due to European colonization and American expansion. For a brief period in the 1740s, the Shawnee inhabited portions of Southern Illinois near what is now known as Shawnee National Forest.
Obverse visuals on the 2024 Proof Native America the Beautiful Illinois Silver Coin includes the image of a Shawnee individual looking down on Camel Rock. This rock formation is one of the most photographed sites in Illinois and is part of the Shawnee National Forest, a 280,000-acre region of federally managed lands.
Reverse design elements on 2024 1 oz Proof NATB Illinois Silver Coins feature the common design element for the series. This features an American bald eagle at the center of an eight-pointed star. Between each of the points of the star, around its outer edge, you’ll find arrowheads.
