Obverse

Crazy Horse is depicted on the obverse side of 1 oz Copper Lakota Crazy Horse Rounds. His effigy captures a stoic figure he was respected by both his enemies and his people. Crazy Horse, whose name literally translated as his horse is crazy, was given the title of shirt wearer by his band of Oglala people from the Lakota Sioux tribe.

Reverse

An American bison is featured in the reverse design of the Copper Lakota Crazy Horse Round. The Lakota people associated themselves closely with the American bison, both spiritually and religious, as well as in movement. Bison are nomadic creatures that follow migratory patterns to follow the available food sources on the plains. Likewise, the Lakota followed the migratory patterns of the bison to stay close to their main source of food, clothing, weapons, and even toys.

History

Crazy Horse became the shirt-wearer, or war leader, of the Oglala band as the Lakota Siouxs way of life and land were encroached upon by American settlers. He was the leader who guided the warriors of the Oglala, Lakota, and other allied tribes in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 when the Lakota Sioux devastated the 7^th Cavalry under the leadership of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer.
