• Obverse: A beautiful portrait of a Sioux Warrior on horseback is shown. He is ready for combat, while carrying his spear and war shield with great intensity. The war horse features striking detail with several war paint symbols which Native Americans painted to record their bravery in battle. The handprint brings great meaning and shows a vow of vengeance against an enemy. The circle around the eye was known to enhance the senses and spot danger while at war. The straight horizontal lines across the nasal bridge were coup marks, or count of war honors proving the overthrowing of a settlement.
• Reverse: Depicts a 19th century Indian war shield. On the shield are two buffaloes colliding in combat as well as a tepee and banner with the name of the tribe. The eight tepees represent the districts of the Oglala Sioux reservation.
