1/2 Dollar - Elizabeth II Death of Tecumseh

Tecumseh was killed at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813, fighting alongside British forces against an American army commanded by William Henry Harrison — the same man who would later win the presidency partly on the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." His death effectively ended the pan-tribal confederacy he had spent years assembling across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, removing the only serious Indigenous military check on American westward expansion. The Solomon Islands has no historical connection to any of this; the issue is purely a bullion-adjacent collector piece targeting the global commemorative market.
