2015 年 S 版莫霍克鐵工美國原住民美元精製版

2015 年美國原住民美元系列的推出是對莫霍克人長期存在且仍然重要的傳統的熱烈紀念。

The 2015 Native American Dollar coin is a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Mohawk people, renowned for their exceptional contributions to the construction industry. Hailing from the northern region of New York State and extending into neighboring areas of Canada, the Kanienʼkehá:ka (Mohawk) people form one of the five founding tribes of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy).

2015 年美洲原住民美元硬幣是對莫霍克人不朽遺產的致敬，他們因對建築業的傑出貢獻而聞名。 Kanien'kehá:ka（莫霍克）人來自紐約州北部地區，延伸到加拿大鄰近地區，是豪德諾索尼（易洛魁聯盟）的五個創始部落之一。

For nearly two centuries, skilled Mohawk laborers have ascended to remarkable heights, forging an enduring reputation for their masterful steel and ironwork on iconic construction projects. In the 1920s and ’30s, a contingent of Mohawk ironworkers migrated to New York City and played a pivotal role in erecting such architectural marvels as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the George Washington Bridge. Their legacy continued in the 1970s with their involvement in the construction of the World Trade Center.

近兩個世紀以來，熟練的莫霍克工人已經達到了非凡的高度，因其在標誌性建築項目中精湛的鋼鐵製品而贏得了持久的聲譽。 1920 世紀 1920 年代和 1930 年代，一群莫霍克鋼鐵工人移居紐約市，在帝國大廈、克萊斯勒大廈和喬治華盛頓大橋等建築奇蹟的建造過程中發揮了關鍵作用。他們的遺產在 20 世紀 70 年代繼續參與世貿中心的建設。

The reverse design of the 2015-S Native American – Mohawk Ironworkers Dollar showcases the breathtaking city vista as seen through the eyes of a Mohawk ironworker navigating staggering heights on a daily basis. The design, conceived by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Ronald D. Sanders and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill, presents a fisheye lens perspective of the metropolis. This technique, reminiscent of other innovative and award-winning solutions employed by Mint artists in response to challenging themes, effectively conveys a remarkable depth of field on the diminutive dollar canvas.

2015-S 美洲原住民 – 莫霍克鋼鐵工人一美元的背面設計展示了每天在高空作業的莫霍克鋼鐵工人眼中所看到的令人驚嘆的城市景觀。該設計由美國造幣廠藝術融合計劃（AIP）藝術家羅納德·D·桑德斯（Ronald D. Sanders）構思，並由造幣廠獎章藝術家菲比·亨普希爾（Phebe Hemphill）雕刻，呈現了大都會的魚眼鏡頭視角。這種技術讓人想起造幣廠藝術家為應對具有挑戰性的主題而採用的其他創新且屢獲殊榮的解決方案，有效地在小型美元畫布上傳達了非凡的景深。

Available exclusively to collectors through the United States Mint’s ordering website, the Proof 2015 Native American Dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint with a mintage exceeding one million pieces. An Enhanced Uncirculated version of the coin was struck at the West Point Mint and included in the 2015 American $1 Coin and Currency Set.

Examining the Market for the 2015-S Mohawk Ironworker Native American Dollar Proof

Given the recent mintage and ultra-modern nature of these coins, which are typically treated like commodities, they lack the meaningful history of auction appearances associated with elite classic U.S. coins. To gauge the contemporary market for these issues, we turn to sites like eBay (although, in all honesty, it's the only one worth considering).

鑑於這些硬幣的近期發行量和超現代性質（通常被視為商品），它們缺乏與美國精英經典硬幣相關的有意義的拍賣歷史。為了衡量這些問題的當代市場，我們求助於 eBay 等網站（儘管說實話，這是唯一值得考慮的網站）。

In recent months, a handful of perfect and near-perfect specimens certified by PCGS and NGC have been sold on the platform, with prices generally ranging from $15 to $50, largely influenced by the sellers and the “Buy It Now” option. The following list presents auction records available on eBay as of this mid-January 2025 update (eBay removes auction lots after three months).

近幾個月來，該平台上出售了一些經過PCGS和NGC認證的完美和近乎完美的標本，價格普遍在15至50美元之間，很大程度上受到賣家和「立即購買」選項的影響。以下清單顯示了截至 2025 年 1 月中旬更新的 eBay 上可用的拍賣記錄（eBay 在三個月後刪除了拍賣品）。

Uncertified (“raw”) examples with adequate photography have sold on eBay in the last couple months for between $5 and $8.

過去幾個月，帶有足夠照片的未經認證（「原始」）樣本在 eBay 上的售價在 5 至 8 美元之間。

正面：

Artist Glenna Goodacre's depiction of Sacagawea on the Native American Dollarコイン serves as a representation of both the Corps of Discovery explorer and her child, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. In the absence of any contemporary portraits of Sacagawea, Goodacre's effigy draws inspiration from the likeness of then-23-year-old Shoshone model Randy’L He-dow Teton (born 1976). On the coin, Sacagawea's body faces right, with her head turned two-thirds of the way to the side and her eyes making direct contact with the viewer. Baby Jean is depicted sleeping in a papoose. The word LIBERTY wraps around the upper portion of the coin. Inscribed in small letters to the left of Sacagawea is the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. Goodacre's initials, gg, are incused at the seven o'clock position, close to the rim.

藝術家格倫娜·古達克(Glenna Goodacre) 在美國原住民美元硬幣上描繪的薩卡加維亞(Sacagawea) 代表了發現軍團探險家和她的孩子讓·巴蒂斯特·夏博諾( Jean Baptiste Charbonneau)。由於沒有任何薩卡加維亞的當代肖像，古達克的肖像從當時23 歲的肖肖尼模特兒蘭迪·赫多·提頓（Randy'L He-dow Teton，生於1976 年）的肖像中汲取靈感。硬幣上，薩卡加維亞的身體面向右側，頭轉向一側三分之二，眼睛直接與觀看者接觸。嬰兒吉恩被描繪成睡在帕普斯裡。 「自由」一詞環繞在硬幣的上部。薩卡加維亞左側用小寫字母刻著「IN GOD WE TRUST」的座右銘。古達克的名字縮寫 gg 刻在七點鐘位置，靠近邊緣。

A Mohawk construction worker stands high above the New York City skyline. His right arm extends to grip and guide a steel beam as his left hand holds onto the “porthole” that frames the coin's design. A fisheye perspective of the surrounding buildings and water features effectively conveys a sense of both height and scale. The worker's right foot is positioned on a beam, which bears the incuse inscription MOHAWK IRONWORKERS. Two bolts are placed at the four and eight o'clock positions. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA wraps around the upper part of the design. The denomination value of $1 appears in the skyline to the left of the Empire State Building.

一名莫霍克建築工人站在紐約市天際線的高處。他的右臂伸出來抓住並引導一根鋼樑，而他的左手則握住構成硬幣設計的「舷窗」。周圍建築物和水景的魚眼視角有效地傳達了高度和規模感。工人的右腳踩在橫樑上，橫樑上刻有「MOHAWK IRONWORKERS」字樣。兩個螺栓放置在四點鐘和八點鐘位置。標誌「United States of AMERICA」環繞在設計的上部。 1 美元的面值出現在帝國大廈左側的天際線上。
