Description

Crazy Horse (1842-1877) was a Lakota Sioux war chief and a leader of the Oglala band in the 19th century. He fought against the United States government to protect Native American territory and the Lakota people’s traditional way of life. Crazy Horse was born near Rapid City, South Dakota, and was named “Curly” as a child. He was later renamed “Horse On Sight” after showing bravery in a battle with the Arapahos, and his father passed on his name to him in honor. Crazy Horse was killed by a soldier at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, on September 5, 1877.

• Reverse: The common reverse for the series, it includes many iconic images of the old west.  Centered, a blank badge wrapped with a cowboy’s rope, a horned bull skull centered, with opposing six-shooters at 10 and 2 o’clock, and finally, two horseshoes at three o’clock, and a small badge at nine o’clock with the Intaglio mint mark.  Hallmark at 6 o’clock curved on the lower circumference.
