Black Hawk, born Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak in 1767, became one of the most recognized Native American leaders of the early 19th century for defending his people’s homelands against growing American settlement.

A member of the Thunder Clan of the Sauk nation, Black Hawk rose as a war chief and fought alongside the British during the War of 1812. He refused to accept treaties that gave up Sauk territory in areas that are now Illinois and Wisconsin, arguing they were not agreed to fairly. His strong commitment to protecting his people’s way of life and their right to live on ancestral ground made him a trusted leader among the Sauk and a serious opponent to American forces.

All 2025 1 oz Antique Sioux Nation Silver Black Hawk Coins offered here ship in protective capsules with a Certificate of Authenticity. The ultra-high-relief strike gives the artwork a fuller, more three-dimensional look, while the antique finish adds a subtle, aged tone that supports the overall style of the coin.

On the obverse of 2025 Antique Sioux Nation Silver Black Hawk Coins, you’ll find a front-facing bust of Black Hawk. The Black Hawk War of 1832, named for him, was the last major armed effort to resist American settlement east of the Mississippi River in the northern United States. Although the war ended with a defeat for Black Hawk’s band and heavy losses for his followers, his autobiography—published in 1833—helped introduce many Americans to a first-person Native perspective during that era.

The reverse of 2025 1 oz Antique Silver Black Hawk Coins features a North American Hawk in flight. Hawks carry deep spiritual significance for many Indigenous tribes throughout North America and are honored as strong messengers, guardians, and emblems of sharp awareness and concentration. With their remarkable eyesight and skilled hunting ability, hawks are commonly linked to clarity, broad perspective, and seeing truth from far away—both in the real world and in a symbolic sense.
