| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a centrally placed Susquehannock ceramic storage vessel, rendered in detailed relief with characteristic incised geometric decoration around the rim and body, reflecting the material culture of the Susquehannock people. Flanking the central motif on both sides are decorative geometric ornaments composed of diamond and dot patterns, evoking traditional Native American iconographic designs. The curved legend SUSQUEHANNOCK TRIBES 2022 arcs along the upper periphery in runic-style Latin lettering, while the denomination ONE CENT is inscribed along the lower periphery. The overall composition pays tribute to the archaeological and cultural legacy of the Susquehannock tribes. |

| Additional information |
The Jamul Indian Village, a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, California, has no historical connection to the Susquehannock — a people indigenous to the Susquehanna River valley of Pennsylvania and Maryland, effectively destroyed as a political entity by the 1670s through a combination of Haudenosaunee warfare and colonial violence. That geographic and cultural distance makes the choice of subject unusual enough to note without explanation readily available in public record.
Native American tribes with federal recognition have been permitted to issue legal tender coinage through agreements with licensing entities since the 1990s, though these pieces are produced privately and see no meaningful circulation.
