The Crow Tribal Government is releasing a new commemorative coin.
The precious-metal based coin will commemorate the history behind the nearby Custer Battlefield. Crow Government officials say they will use proceeds from the coin’s sale to fund economic development and other business ventures on the reservation.
“With an 80% unemployment rate, we’re looking to lower that as much as we can through all different kinds of business ventures, and this is just one of them,” said Ceivert LaForge with the Crow Tribal Administration. La Forge went on to say that the tribal government has worked on the coins since March of 2013, and that the coins could eventually pave the way to a new Crow Tribe currency.

The 1,000 stuck medallions were released to attendees of the annual Crow Native Days festival, which celebrates Crow culture and the Native American victory of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The Battle of the Little Bighorn (commonly referred to as Custer’s Last Stand) was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota , Northern Cheyenne , and Arapaho tribes, against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army . The battle, which occurred on June 25–26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory , was the most prominent action of the Great Sioux War of 1876 . It was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne , and Arapaho, led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall , inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull (T ȟ at ȟ áŋka Íyotake). The U.S. Seventh Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, a force of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer , suffered a severe defeat. Five of the Seventh Cavalry’s companies were annihilated; Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. The total U.S. casualty count, including scouts, stood at 268 dead and 55 injured. This commemorative medallion with a proof-like finish exhibits the portraits of Sitting Bull and General George Custer (along with the date of the legendary battle), sculpted by artist Luigi Badia. The reverse exhibits the official seal of the Crow Nation. The medallion is struck in 1 troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
