Sacagawea / Native American Dollar Coin on Filet Lace Doily

The primary item in focus is a golden-colored coin, appearing to be a Sacagawea or Native American dollar coin from the United States. The coin exhibits a metallic, likely copper-manganese brass, composition, giving it a distinct golden hue. One side of the coin, which is visible, features a portrait of a person, identifiable as Sacagawea or a generic Native American figure depending on the specific series. The inscription "LIBERTY" is visible above the portrait, and "IN GOD WE TRUST" is partially visible along the bottom edge. While the date is not clearly discernible, the design is consistent with dollar coins minted from 2000 onwards. The coin shows signs of circulation, with some light wear and possibly a slight patina that darkens the recesses of the design, but no severe damage such as deep scratches or dents are apparent. Its condition suggests it is a circulated coin rather than an uncirculated specimen. The coin is resting on a white textile surface, which appears to be a filet lace doily or tablecloth. This textile is characterized by its intricate openwork pattern, created by a series of knotted or woven threads forming a grid-like mesh. The pattern features geometric shapes, including squares and possibly more elaborate motifs within the lace design. The edges of the lace are scalloped or have a decorative finish, consistent with traditional lacework. The background shows a dark, possibly wooden, surface beneath the lace, providing a contrast that highlights the white textile. The craftsmanship of the lace appears to be hand-done or machine-made to replicate a hand-made look, indicating a vintage or traditional style. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible on either the coin or the lace.
