The 2025 Sitting Bull issue from the Legendary Warriors series honors the Hunkpapa Lakota leader who united the Plains nations before Little Bighorn, struck in two ounces of silver and certified flawless at NGCX Mint State 10, Antiqued. Just 500 coins exist worldwide, giving this $5 Niue legal tender release genuine scarcity to match its subject’s stature.
Key Features:
- Contains 2 troy ounces of .999 fine silver with an antiqued finish and selective gold gilding
- Certified NGCX 10, the perfect grade on NGC’s 10-point scale, in a black-core holder
- Obverse: Sitting Bull seated in high relief, his war bonnet and adornments in gold
- Reverse: an armory of ancient weapons surrounding the Public Seal of Niue
The obverse renders Sitting Bull seated in the grasses of the northern Plains, a long ceremonial pipe held across his lap with smoke curling from its bowl. His full eagle-feather war bonnet blazes in gold gilding, matched by the necklaces and spiral medallion at his chest, standing out against the muted antiqued silver of his fringed leggings and draped robe. The scene spreads wide around him: a buffalo grazes at the left, an eagle rides the wind above painted tipis, and snow-capped mountains rise along the horizon. SITTING BULL arcs across the sky in raised letters.
The reverse assembles the series’ signature armory, with axes, swords, spears, a spiked mace, and a curved bow radiating from a central medallion that carries the Public Seal of Niue. LEGENDARY WARRIORS crowns the design, while FINE SILVER, 2025, FIVE DOLLARS, and 2 oz 999 complete the border.
Each coin arrives sealed in an NGC black-core holder bearing the Legendary Warriors label, the Mint State 10 Antiqued designation, and NGC’s verification barcode for lasting proof of grade and authenticity.
A perfect grade, sculptural gilded detail, and a mintage of only 500 make this tribute to the great Lakota holy man a centerpiece-caliber coin. Order yours from Hero Bullion today before the series sells through.
