The 2017 Proof Mississippi Choctaw Water Moccasin 1 oz Silver Coin is a part of the series released by the Native American Mints in celebration of the North American tribal nations. With one coin featured to represent each state in the country, this is a highly collectible series for many of the reasons that make these coins so incredible. Each of the coins features a tribal member and an animal that is commonly found in the state being represented. The coins are made from .999 pure silver and feature the image of a member of the Choctaw Nation. The coins have a face value of $1, but they do not have legal tender status in the United States.
Highlights:
Your 2017 Proof Mississippi Choctaw Water Moccasin 1 oz Silver Coin is delivered protected and secure in a plastic capsule. This will not only protect your coin from damage during shipping but will also protect the brilliant satin finish of the coin.
The 2017 Proof Mississippi Choctaw Water Moccasin 1 oz Silver Coin pays tribute to the Choctaw Nation. These people are said to have been descended from the ancient Hopewell and Mississippian tribes that historically lived in what we now know as the southeastern United States. The Choctaw people have long called Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma home.
Obverse
The obverse design of the 2017 Proof Mississippi Choctaw Water Moccasin 1 oz Silver Coin features the image of the Choctaw Nation tribal member. With a current estimate of around 160,000 members, the Choctaw Nation is one of the largest in the United States. Also on the obverse of the coin is the weight, purity and metal content of this coin.
Reverse
The reverse design of the 2017 Proof Mississippi Choctaw Water Moccasin 1 oz Silver Coin features an image of the venomous water moccasin snake. These snakes hold the distinction of being the only semi-aquatic viper species around the globe. While they are most often found living in streams, marshes, shallow lakes and bayous, they have been seen in the Gulf of Mexico and in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The water moccasin is not often easy to spot in the waters, which is why it is responsible for countless deaths even today.
