Iconic USA Presidential portraits - finished in 24-carat gold!
An official issue of the US Mint’s Presidential dollars, commemorating the great leader who shaped the United States of America. Struck to impeccable quality, these highly sought after US legal tender coins are renowned for the powerful portraits of US Presidents.
Andrew Jackson’s presidency is marred with much controversy throughout his two terms. Some believe Jackson is the champion of the common people, a politician who united the Union, but history shows Jackson destroyed the lives of numerous people through his slave trade and removal of Indians from their ancestral lands. Coming to power in 1829, Jackson set about removing Indians populating the south eastern regions of the US to west of the Mississippi River. For numerous years, treaties had been signed between the Indians and the Government to prevent the removal but in 1830, Jackson introduced the Removal Act. The Cherokees went to the High Supreme Court to have the act overturned, but Jackson ignored the Court and continued with his plans. In the summer of 1838, the US Army began to forcefully remove 16,000 Cherokees from their land. Known as the Trail of Tears, 4,000 Cherokees would die from malnutrition, disease and exposure.
