Canada: 2016 $50 Wanduta: Portrait of a Chief 5oz Silver Coin

Composition: 99% silver

Finish: Proof

Mintage: 1200

Weight(grams): 157.6 

Design: The coin showcases a full-face portrait of Wanduta (Red Arrow), a Sioux Valley Dakota Chief who defended the community's ceremonial dance rites when such activities were prohibited under the Indian Act. The full application of colour over the engraving captures the beautiful complexities of Wanduta's traditional regalia, circa 1913. Finely detailed engraving adds texture to the eagle feathers that adorn the full headdress, as well as the beautifully coloured beads that are woven in a geometric design on the headband above Wanduta's brow.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a custom box.
