There is gold dollar coin Sacagawea 2000 P, 2000 D Sacagawea one dollar coin US Liberty gold color circulated, and other types.
It was the first circulating U.S. piece to honor a Native American woman. The selection was intentional — she represents strength, guidance, and a role in American history. Her portrayal with her infant son emphasized family and cultural continuity.

Despite being called the 2000 Sacagawea GOLD coin it’s not like the Stella numismatic piece. The golden hue comes from the manganese-brass alloy used in its cladding.
The person depicted on the piece was a Shoshone woman who was a guide and interpreter during the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804 to 1806. Her image reflects how she helped explore the American West.
The infant shown on her back is her real historical son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, who was carried during the Lewis and Clark expedition. He later became a multilingual explorer, trapper, and even mayor of Mission San Luis Rey in California under Mexican rule.
