| 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.
