Smithsonian Native Sun Symbol Coin!

I got this at the National Museum of the American Indian which is inside of the Alexander Hamilton Customs House in NYC. This was most likely the least costly item at $1.00 and a nice coin so I decided to get it (as opposed to other things that costed anywhere from $16.00-$100.00 and probably more). Now more about the museum. There was a great self-guided tour that showcased many different artifacts that were a part of the daily lives of Native Americans. My favorite parts, of course, were the dresses and bags that had coins sewn into them. From what I could tell most were Capped Bust or Seated Liberty half dollars. There were also some other types of coins, but not many. One of the most amazing parts of the museum was the art exhibit. There were many pieces made of different mediums and with many different inspirations. Some had a god, some a person, some were skulls, some were scenes of something happening in ancient times, and many, many more.

(NOTE: There are also many other exhibits and sights to see. To find out what they are you will have to visit yourself. )
