Obverse description A centrally positioned dreamcatcher dominates the field, rendered in fine detail with an intricately patterned geometric web within a circular hoop, from which decorative feathered pendants hang on either side. Flanking the central motif are two stylized rosette or sun spiral ornaments in the left and right fields. A decorative scrollwork band separates the central design from the upper legend. The curved legend arcs across the upper portion of the coin in stylized Native American-inspired lettering.

Reverse description A woven cedar bark pouch used to hold wild rice is depicted centrally in high relief, showing fine diagonal basketweave texture across its body and a rougher, irregular top edge suggesting natural material. A decorative geometric border composed of repeated triangular and dot motifs runs along the upper rim of the coin. Below the central motif, a horizontal ornamental band divides the design from the lower legend, which records the denomination, tribal name, and date in three lines across the lower field.

Additional information

The Jamul Indian Village, a federally recognized Kumeyaay band in San Diego County, is among the smallest tribal nations in the United States — at one point holding a land base of just 6.2 acres. Tribal token issues like this one circulate within sovereign gaming and commercial operations, where federal Indian gaming law creates a jurisdictional boundary that makes such pieces legally distinct from U.S. coinage. The "Ojibwa tribes" attribution on a Kumeyaay-issued piece is a curiosity worth noting — likely a generic series label applied by the private mint contractor rather than any tribal self-identification.
