This richly inked and well-centered About Uncirculated example of the iconic “Chief” note offers excellent eye appeal and strong visual presence. The obverse features the dignified bust of Ta-to-ka-in-yan-ka, known as Running Antelope, a respected leader of the Oncpapa Sioux tribe. Engraved by George F. C. Smillie, this is the only issue in U.S. paper currency history to feature a Native American as the central portrait—a powerful and culturally significant design. A handsome and historically important note, sure to resonate with collectors who value artistry, heritage, and depth.
