2023 Oglala Sioux $2 2-oz Silver Native American Spirit War Horse Ultra High Relief Antiqued Coin NGC MS70 First Day of Issue

The Legacy Of The Native American Spirt War Horse

Next to the buffalo, no animal was more important to the Plains Indian culture and way of life than the wild horses that roamed free throughout the West. These Indian Ponies were symbols of wealth and not only provided transport for an entire village but were indispensable for hunting buffalo and making war on enemies. In fact, raiding and capturing enemy horses was often at the root of inter-tribal warfare. For a young man trying to earn his place as a warrior, relieving an enemy of his horses was considered an honorable rite of passage. It’s no wonder that the Native Spirit War Horse has become a revered symbol among many tribes, especially those like the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation that has released this incredible silver coin that depicts one of these Mustangs in stunning detail.

Vivid Images Of America’s Wild Mustang

Struck in two full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this legal-tender $2 coin shows a Native American Spirt War Horse nearly ready for battle taken directly from a beautiful painting by renowned American equestrian artist Laura Prindle, who has been winning awards for her artwork since she was a teen. The horse has been painted, saddled with a blanket, and his nostrils have caught the scent of the coming fight. All he waits on is for his flowing mane to be tied. Once that’s accomplished, he and his warrior brother armed with spear, war club and shield will be on their way to count coup against their enemies. The coin’s reverse displays a vivid Native American design that serves as the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation’s Coat of Arms.

Ultra High Relief Designs With An Antiqued Finish

To accentuate the designs, this coin has been struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR) with a concave field that creates maximum contrast with the designs. To further augment that contrast, the coin was layered with a superb antiqued finish. This unique finish adds a taste of history that will have you imagining a bygone day when Indians painted for war charged their ponies at U.S. cavalrymen dressed in dirty-shirt blue. Antique finishes like this are typically applied by hand, meaning that no two coins are exactly alike!

In addition, each Oglala Sioux Two-Ounce Gold Native American Spirt War Horse Ultra High Relief Coin available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded coin will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. What’s more, NGC has further pedigreed these coins with a First Day of Issue (FDI) certification, meaning they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date.
