2026 Cook Islands Custer vs. Sitting Bull 2 oz high relief silver coin. Legendary historical adversaries whose clashes molded the course of history are highlighted in the "Enemies in History" series. General George Armstrong Custer and Sitting Bull, chief of the Lakota people, are honored in this issue. Their names will always be associated with the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn, a legendary clash between American soldiers and North American indigenous peoples.
