| Reverse description | A richly detailed high-relief battle scene commemorating the Battle of the Little Bighorn of 1876. To the left, mounted Native American warriors charge dynamically on horseback, weapons raised, while dismounted U.S. cavalry soldiers in the lower field return fire with rifles amid fallen combatants. To the right, a prominent portrait bust of a Native American leader, shown in profile facing left with braided hair and traditional dress, dominates the composition. The inscription 'BITKA PRI LITTLE BIGHORNE' arcs across the upper field in two lines, and the date '1876' appears to the lower right. The Kremnica Mint mark is visible in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
The Battle of the Little Bighorn, fought on June 25–26, 1876, ended with the annihilation of five companies of the 7th Cavalry under Custer — the most significant defeat of U.S. forces in the decades-long Plains Indian Wars. Niue has issued commemorative silver dollars under licensing agreements with the British Crown since the 1990s, a revenue arrangement that funds the island's administration given a population of roughly 1,600.
The pairing of Charles III's effigy with an American frontier battle has no historical connection between the two — this is a bullion-adjacent collector issue aimed squarely at the American market.
