| Obverse description | A large wolf's paw print rendered in relief occupies the central field, set against a recessed background. Surrounding the central motif is a circular legend reading '· NATIVE · INDIAN NATIONS IN AMERICA ·' and '· JAMUL · SOVEREIGN NATION NATIVE ·', the lower portion appearing inverted in medal alignment. The entire design is framed by a decorative outer border of repeating triangular or chevron-shaped motifs, reminiscent of traditional Native American geometric ornamentation. |

| Additional information |
The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County — not a Mohegan community, which is based in Connecticut. Whether the "Mohegan tribes" attribution in this listing reflects a licensing arrangement, a broader tribal gaming or numismatic consortium, or simply a cataloging error is worth verifying before this piece is described further.
Native American tribal nations have issued privately minted trade tokens and fantasy pieces with increasing frequency since the 1990s, most without federal coinage authority. This piece carries no legal tender status under U.S. law.
