2004 lewis and clark united states silver coinage and currency set

Description: This set includes 2 nickels, a silver dollar, a Native American dollar, 3 stamps, a medal, and a reprinted bison $10 note. The contents of the 2004 set included the most coins, the most stamps and the largest currency denomination (though a specimen, not real currency) of any of the coin and currency sets. Plus, the set also contained a replica of the Lewis and Clark peace medal and two booklets - one for the Lewis and Clark Expedition and one for the Louisiana Purchase. The Lewis and Clark Coin and Currency Set includes three different stamps also released in 2004 to recognize the 200th anniversary of the Corps of Discovery. On the left above the replica peace medal, the 37¢ stamp shows a portrait of William Clark. On the right, a portrait of Meriwether Lewis is on another 37¢ stamp. At the bottom right, another 37¢ stamp portrays the two men in their adventure garb pointing and looking westward. In small print, the stamp includes the inscription "Lewis and Clark Bicentennial." The obverse of the replica Peace Medal shows a left profile view of Thomas Jefferson. The medal's inscription states: "TH. JEFFERSON PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. A. D. 1801" around the rim. The reverse of the replica Peace Medal simply shows a crossed hatchet and pipe above a handshake with the inscription "PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP." Much of this design can be found on the reverse of the Peace Medal five cent coin. The obverse of the silver dollar depicts Lewis and Clark as they decide where to go next. This side of the coin is also inscribed with "LEWIS AND CLARK BICENTENNIAL." The reverse of the Lewis and Clark silver dollar displays the face value. This design includes 2 feathers and a replica of the peace medal that was given to Native Americans by Lewis and Clark. The Westward Journey "Peace Medal" nickel shows the handshake and the crossed hatchet and pipe similar to - yet slightly different from - the reverse design of the replica Peace Medal shown above. The reverse of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commemorative Silver Dollar coin includes a small version of the Peace Medal design more in keeping with the original artwork. Sacagawea played an important role, some could argue the most important one, on Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery. Her likeness along with her infant son can be seen on the obverse of the golden dollar coin. The reverse of the Sacagawea golden dollar coin has an eagle soaring while surrounded by 17 stars. Both the golden dollar and the Lewis and Clark commemorative silver dollar include 17 stars on their reverse. These 17 stars represent the number of states in our country in 1804, the year they began their expedition. Original Government Packaging This entire set is still protected by the original government packaging. It comes in an intriguing display folder that also has information about each piece as well as the expedition. This set is an excellent choice for any collector because of both its subject matter and its huge popularity during the initial offering.
