The great Shawnee Chief Tecumseh’s (c.1768-1813) was born near Springfield, Ohio. His name, which meant both “shooting star” and “crouching panther,” proved prescient, for he became a highly driven and dynamic leader and warrior. Tecumseh dedicated his life to spreading a message of unification among Native North Americans, and building support for a self-governing Aboriginal Territory. During the War of 1812, he joined forces with the British to defend British North America and became an important ally of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock. After their joint victory at For Detroit, a strong mutual respect bonded the two men until their respective deaths in battle. Tecumseh was one of many who fell during the battle at Moraviantown (also known as the Battle of the Thames), when British troops retreated leaving only 500 Aboriginal warriors to fight more than 3,000 American soldiers. His death, and the legacy of his life, immortalized him as a hero of Canadians.

Your coins are a tribute to the heros of the War of 1812 and will make an ideal gift for historians and admirers of Aboriginal history.

Shawnee warrior, Tecumseh, united his native allies to fight alongside the British at the Battle of Fort Detroit. By making his army appear larger than it was, he helped take the city from the Americans.

Note that the photos I post in my listings are all from my own inventory.  However, for items like this one where the products are brand new from the mint and are identical the photo posted in the listing is a STOCK photo meaning that the photos represent the item you will be getting.  Normally there is almost no difference between the photo you see in the listing and the actual product you are sent. Certificate numbers (if shown in a photo) are an example of something that will not be the same in the item you receive. Photos are taken in natural light and therefore the colouration might appear slightly warmer than actual colours.
