In 1607, a group of English settlers arrived in what would become the first permanent English colony in the New World—Jamestown, Virginia. Their voyage, backed by the Virginia Company, was filled with peril, yet their resilience laid the foundation for modern America.
To honor the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, the U.S. Mint released the 2007 Jamestown Proof Commemorative Silver Dollar, a numismatic masterpiece that captures the spirit of exploration and settlement.
A Tribute to America’s First Colony
The obverse of this remarkable coin features three intrepid settlers gazing toward the horizon, symbolizing their determination to build a new life in an uncharted land. Framed by the inscriptions Jamestown 1607-2007, Liberty, and In God We Trust, the design embodies the courage of those who ventured into the unknown.
On the reverse, the historic Jamestown Memorial Church—a surviving structure from the original colony—stands as a testament to the settlement’s enduring legacy. Encircled by the inscriptions United States of America, One Dollar, E Pluribus Unum, and In God We Trust, this design highlights the cultural and architectural significance of Jamestown.
