Chief Hopothle Mico and
George Washington
Featured on Poarch Creek Gold Coin
| The 2005
Five Dollar gold coin issued by the Sovereign Nation
of Poarch Creek Indians features Chief Hopothle Mico
and George Washington, commemorating their meeting in
New York in 1790. Mico was called the “Talassee
King of the Creeks” by artist John Trumbull, who
sketched him from life. Perhaps he is the same man,
identified as “Tallessee Mico,” who made
his x mark on June 29, 1796 on a Treaty With The Creeks:
A treaty of peace and friendship made and concluded
between the President of the United States of America,
on the one Part, and Behalf of the said States, area
the undersigned Kings, Chiefs and Warriors of the Creek
Nation of Indians, on the Part of the said Nation. |
