| Reverse description | Central high-relief depiction of Sitting Bull, the renowned Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux chief, shown in three-quarter view wearing a large traditional feathered war bonnet and holding a rifle. A Native American figure and a southwestern mesa formation appear in the middle ground to the right, evoking the landscape of the American West. The commemorative legend 500 YEARS OF AMERICA 1492 - 1992 arcs around the upper field, and the denomination 50 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower field. The design celebrates the quincentenary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas and is struck to proof standard with sharp relief against a mirror field. |
