Enemies in History: The Second Release of a Gripping Series

The "Enemies in History" series pits legendary adversaries against one another. It began in 2025 with the duel between Caesar and Brutus. Now chapter two follows, leading into the Great Plains of North America.

On one side stands George Armstrong Custer, an ambitious cavalry officer of the US Army. Opposite him stands Sitting Bull (Tatanka Iyotanka), the spiritual and political leader of the Hunkpapa Lakota. On June 25 and 26, 1876, their worlds collided. Custer led the 7th US Cavalry Regiment against a large encampment of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho. Custer and more than 250 of his men lost their lives in the battle.

Was it a triumph? Yes, but only briefly. This is precisely what the inscription "A VAIN VICTORY" alludes to—a futile victory. This ambiguity is what makes the subject so compelling. It elevates the coin far beyond mere battle romanticism.

The Design: Back to Back, Separated by an Arrow

Obverse with an Expressive Double Portrait

Custer looks to the left in profile. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a uniform coat, and his distinctive mustache. Sitting Bull looks to the right, with finely detailed long braids and a feather in his hair. Between the two, an arrow runs vertically, symbolizing the inevitable clash of two worlds. In the background, sharp geometric lines converge toward seven points at the coin's edge, symbolically referencing the 7th US Cavalry, Custer's regiment. A restrained, selective colorization adds further depth to the hat, hair, and clothing without disturbing the somber mood. The inscriptions read "LITTLE BIGHORN," "A VAIN VICTORY," "GEORGE CUSTER," "SITTING BULL," and "ENEMIES IN HISTORY."

Reverse with a Dramatic Battle Scene

The reverse depicts a cavalry scene based on "The Duel, Tomahawk and Sabre," a painting by American artist Charles Schreyvogel. It shows galloping horses, raised sabers and tomahawks, with further riders visible amid the dust behind them. The entire scene is rendered in powerful high relief. In the upper right is the emblem of the Mongolbank along with the denomination "1000 TOGROG" and the inscription "MONGOLIA 2oz .9999 SILVER." The year of issue, 2026, appears in the lower right.

Why the Very Low Mintage Makes a Difference

Only 500 pieces exist. For a design with such great international appeal, that is remarkably few. The Wild West captivates collectors in Europe, North America, and Asia alike. In addition, there are series collectors who want to own the complete "Enemies in History" set. Such a rarity is usually only available on the secondary market once sold out.

Among collectors, the strict limitation is therefore considered an important factor for the potential for value appreciation. Naturally, there is no guarantee of future prices for collector's coins. However, the combination of a very low mintage, a well-known series, and elaborate minting technique has repeatedly proven to be particularly sought-after in the collector market.

Collector's Coin or Bullion Coin? An Honest Comparison

Classic bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf or the Vienna Philharmonic are minted in the millions and traded close to the silver price. Their advantage is the low premium, their disadvantage the lack of rarity value. With the Custer vs. Sitting Bull silver coin, it's exactly the opposite. The premium is higher. In return, you get an artistic design, high relief, colorization, a Proof finish, and a mintage that will never be increased.

Even among design coins, the 2-ounce format has advantages. Compared to 1-ounce issues, the thicker silver blank offers more material for deep relief and the finest details. This is especially evident in the facial features of the two portraits. The case, designed in the style of the coin's motif, also makes the coin an impressive display piece and a special gift for lovers of American history.

Silver: A Metal with a Rich Coinage Tradition

For centuries, silver was one of the most important coinage metals and was regarded in many cultures as a symbol of prosperity and prestige. It is durable, does not change its properties, and is traded worldwide as a commodity. This is further supported by demand from the electronics, solar, and medical technology industries. For collectors, silver is especially appealing because it is more affordable compared to gold and beautifully highlights the fine mirror surfaces of a Proof strike. For private buyers in Germany, it also applies that profits from the sale of physical silver are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Custer vs. Sitting Bull 2026: two legends, two troy ounces of fine silver, and only 500 pieces. A coin for collectors who want to literally hold history in their hands.
