The 2012 reverse (tails side) features a Native American and horse in profile with horses running in the background, representing the historical spread of the horse. The design includes the required inscriptions, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "$1". The obverse (heads) design remains the familiar "Sacagawea" design by sculptor Glenna Goodacre, introduced in 2000. Inscriptions on the obverse are "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST". Like the Presidential $1 Coins, the Native American $1 Coins are minted in the distinctive golden color with edge-lettering of the year, mint mark and "E PLURIBUS UNUM".
