Obverse description Central effigy depicting the bust of War Eagle, a Yankton Sioux chief, facing slightly left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed physiognomy. The subject wears an elaborate ceremonial headdress composed of buffalo horns, feathers, and decorative elements, with braided hair falling at the sides. The mirror-like proof field provides strong contrast against the frosted devices. The legend REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI curves along the upper periphery, while the inscription WAR EAGLE YANKTON SIOUX appears along the lower arc of the coin.
