Custer's Last Stand Colossal Inset Coin

In the late 1860s, the U.S. government signed a treaty with Native Americans naming the Black Hills of South Dakota as part of the Great Sioux Reservation. But when gold was discovered in the areaa few years later, the government had a sudden change of heart and quickly moved to relocate all Indians from the hills. Instead of leaving peacefully, however, Indians from all over traveled to joinSitting Bull and Crazy Horse who had set up a camp on the banks of the Little Big Horn River in Montana.

General George Custer, leading the U.S. 7th Cavalry, was tasked with dispersing the growing Indian numbers. After scouting the Little Big Horn valley, Custer planned a surprise attack instead of waiting for reinforcements. This decision placed Custer and his regiments of about 700 menat a distinct disadvantage to roughly 2,000 Sioux warriors.

The Battle of Little Big Horn--or as it came to be known, Custer's Last Stand--was the largest action of the Great Sioux War of 1876 and resulted in the Sioux easily repulsing Custer's uncoordinated and ill-advised attack, killing General Custer along with more than 260 of his men. Today the battle is remembered as an iconic defeat in early U.S. history.
