The Mosopelea were part of the larger Siouan language family, which includes other tribes such as the Dakota, Lakota, and Crow. The tribe was known to be skilled farmers and hunters, cultivating crops like corn, beans, and squash while also relying on the region’s abundant wildlife for sustenance.
Obverse designs on the 2024 Proof NATB Kentucky Silver Coins, you will find the image of members of the Mosopelea walking what is known as the Warrior’s Path. What the indigenous people referred to as the Warrior’s Path is what became known to Americans as the Cumberland Gap. The Cumberland Gap, a natural pass through the Cumberland Mountains near the junction of Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee, played a significant role in the history of the region, including that of the Mosopelea and other indigenous peoples.
Reverse visuals on 2024 1 oz Proof Native America the Beautiful Silver Coins include the image of an American bald eagle. This design is common to all issues in the series and shows the head of the bald eagle at the center of an eight-pointed star. Around the outside, between each point in the star, you’ll find arrowheads.
