Original – $5 United States Silver Certificate, Series 1899, depicting Running Antelope of the Hunkpapa, Sioux.
Reason
High EV, Very high quality. Running Antelope was a Chief of the Hunkpapa, part of the Lakota or Teton Sioux. George F.C. Smillie’s engraved rendering caused significant controversy as Running Antelope, a Sioux, was depicted wearing Pawnee headdress.
