2007 Jamestown 400th Anniversary
The continued survival at Jamestown of the crew members aboard the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery marked a major historical milestone in the exploration of North America. In the legislation authorizing this commemorative coin program, Congress says:
"The Jamestown Settlement brought people from throughout the Atlantic Basin together to form a society that drew upon the strengths and characteristics of English, European, African, and Native American cultures. The economic, political, religious, and social institutions that developed during the first nine decades of the existence of Jamestown continue to have profound effects on the United States, particularly in English common law and language, cross-cultural relationships, manufacturing, and economic structure and status."
The colony at Jamestown also produced one of the earliest iconic figures of colonial history. Captain John Smith was one of seven council members identified in sealed orders to govern the new colony. Smith led the settlers through the struggles of a harsh winter, the spread of disease, and the often challenging relationships with the Algonquian Indians.
The Jamestown 400th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Program comprises two commemorative coins – a silver dollar and a $5 gold coin – available in both proof and uncirculated conditions. Surcharges from the program will support 400th anniversary programs such as promoting understanding, continuing preservation, and improving the infrastructure of Jamestown, among other commemorative events. These programs will be conducted by, and the surcharges will be directed to, the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Secretary of the Interior and the Association for Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
Authorized by Public Law 108-289, the commemorative coins are limited to maximum mintages across all product options of 500,000 for the silver dollar and 100,000 for the $5 gold coin. Both coins may be issued only during the one-year period beginning January 1, 2007.
