| Reverse description | A bold three-quarter portrait of an Abenaki Native American man facing left, wearing a decorative headband adorned with geometric triangular motifs and two long feathers extending to the right. The subject is depicted with long hair, traditional garments featuring geometric patterning at the neckline, and a commanding, stoic expression rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The tribal name ABENAKI arcs across the upper legend, while the denomination, fineness, date, and weight are distributed around the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, California — nowhere near New Hampshire or Abenaki territory. Like many tribal nations, Jamul has exercised its sovereign authority to issue legal tender coins through agreements with other recognized entities, producing pieces that reference tribes and subjects geographically unrelated to their own homeland. This practice became widespread after the 1980s federal recognition push created new revenue opportunities for smaller bands.
The Abenaki are an Algonquian-speaking people whose traditional territory spans what is now northern New England and southern Quebec.
