Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in north America. To commemorate its 400th Anniversary in 2007, the US Mint issued commemorative coins.
The program included a $5 Gold Jamestown Commemorative. This coin features Captain John Smith greeting a Native American on the obverse. The reverse shows the Jamestown Memorial Church, the only remaining original structure of the colony.
The $1 Silver Jamestown Commemorative features Three Faces of Diversity, representing the three cultures that came together at Jamestown. The reverse features the three ships that brought settlers to the colony.
