Designed by Artistic Infusion Program Designer Christina Hess and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill, the 2025 Native American $1 Coin reverse (tails) features Mary Kawena Pukui wearing a hibiscus flower, a kukui nut lei, and a mu#699;umu#699;u adorned with an aloha print. Stylized depictions of water appear in the background. Inscriptions include her name, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "$1." The inscription "Nana I Ke Kumu" translates to "Look to The Source."
Nana I Ke Kumu is the title of a series of books that Pukui helped to produce with the Lili'uokalani Children's Center. The phrase itself is considered very evocative of Pukui's life work and legacy, as she was continually consulted for her expertise on various aspects of Hawaiian knowledge. Hawaiian knowledge is symbolized through the leaves and nuts of Hawaii's state tree, the kukui.
The coin's obverse (heads), by sculptor Glenna Goodacre, continues to feature Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST." The year, mint mark (P or D), and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the coin's edge.
