Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Red Cloud, the celebrated Oglala Lakota Sioux chief, facing slightly left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed long hair and a single feather rising from the crown. A beaded necklace is visible at the truncation. The legend REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription RED CLOUD OGLALA SIOUX curves along the lower field. The deeply mirrored proof field provides strong contrast against the frosted portrait.

Aanvullende informatie

Haiti's early 1970s commemorative silver program was a creature of the Duvalier government's hard currency strategy — Jean-Claude Duvalier had just inherited power from his father in 1971, and foreign exchange was desperately needed. The series leaned heavily on American historical subjects, almost entirely disconnected from Haitian history, because that's what the international collector market would buy.

Red Cloud, the Oglala Lakota leader who forced the U.S. Army to abandon its Bozeman Trail forts in 1868 — the only Native American leader to win a war against the United States — is a peculiar subject for a Port-au-Prince mint issue.
