The 1899 $5 “Indian Chief” Silver Certificate is a true work of art. The Indian Chief on the front is Running Antelope, a member of the Hunkpapa Sioux. He was an advisor to Sitting Bull and advocated peace with the white man … and he is the only Native American whose portrait is featured on American currency. The image of Chief Running Antelope is exceptional. It shows him in a glorious ceremonial headdress. This portrait uniquely captured America’s fascination with the “Wild West” and Native Americans at the end of the 19th century, and it remains one of America’s most sought-after bank notes.
The historic $5 “Indian Chief” Silver Proof features a remarkable three-dimensional sculptured design, so it is even more beautiful and more carefully crafted than the original century-old bank note. Plus, the mirrored Proof background is your assurance of the highest possible quality.
