Niue – 2025 – 5 Dollars – Sitting Bull (Legendary Warriors series) 2oz silver

Description

The 11th release in the Legendary Warriors series honors Sitting Bull, the revered Hunkpapa Lakota leader whose courage, wisdom, and defiance made him a guardian of his people and a symbol of unyielding resistance. Born on the Great Plains, Sitting Bull rose to prominence as both warrior and spiritual leader, guiding his nation through an era of hardship and conflict. His vision and leadership culminated in the legendary Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, where his prophecy and resolve led to a decisive victory over General Custer’s forces. Even after his surrender in 1881, Sitting Bull remained steadfast, a proud voice for Lakota rights and dignity under immense oppression. In 1890, as authorities sought to silence him, his tragic death marked the prelude to the sorrowful massacre at Wounded Knee—but his spirit endured beyond time. Struck from 2 oz of .999 fine silver with antique finish and gold plating, this 2025 Niue 5 Dollars coin (45 mm, limited to 500 pieces) is presented in a case with Certificate of Authenticity. Sitting Bull—eternal guardian, visionary, and unbroken spirit of a nation.
