Haiti 10 gourdes Indian Chieftains Stalking Turkey PR69 PCGS silver coin 1971

The 1971 Haiti 10 Gourdes “Stalking Turkey” silver coin is a remarkable commemorative issue from the famous Indian Chieftains series, dedicated to the Cherokee leader Stalking Turkey. Certified PR69 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this stunning proof coin combines exceptional preservation with deeply mirrored fields and frosted reliefs that create impressive visual contrast and outstanding eye appeal.

The obverse features a finely engraved portrait of Stalking Turkey facing left, wearing traditional Cherokee attire adorned with layered necklaces, decorative medallions, and a feathered headdress. The engraving carefully captures the chief’s facial expression, flowing hair, clothing textures, and tribal ornaments. Around the portrait appear the inscriptions identifying the Republic of Haiti and the Cherokee leader. The reverse displays the elaborate coat of arms of Haiti with a central palm tree rising above crossed flags, cannons, military trophies, banners, drums, and weapons. The national motto is placed across the base, while the denomination and date stand prominently below within reflective proof surfaces framed by a delicate beaded border.

Issued in silver in 1971, this coin honors Native American heritage and the historical legacy of Cherokee leadership. Stalking Turkey is remembered as an important tribal figure connected with the traditions and resilience of the Cherokee people. The prestigious PCGS PR69DCAM certification confirms near-perfect quality and extraordinary cameo contrast.

An excellent addition for collectors of certified silver coins, Native American history, Cherokee culture, and world commemorative numismatics, this Haitian proof issue is both historically meaningful and visually striking.
