| Obverse description | Central design features a large multi-pointed geometric star rendered in a stylized Native American motif, set within an open laurel wreath composed of two symmetrical branches. The circular legend reads 'JAMUL SOVEREIGN NATION' along the upper arc and 'NATIVE INDIAN NATIONS IN AMERICA' along the lower arc, both in raised Latin lettering. Small decorative star ornaments punctuate the legend at intervals around the periphery. The overall composition is executed in proof-like finish with frosted relief against a mirror field. |

| Additional information |
The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County — not a Cherokee nation, and entirely unrelated to Cherokee tribes geographically or politically. A coin attributing "Cherokee tribes" to a Kumeyaay issuer suggests either a generic tribal dollar series where nation-specific branding was applied inconsistently, or a straightforward cataloging error in the source data.
These Native American dollar issues circulate within sovereign tribal economies under authority granted by federal recognition, not U.S. federal coinage law.
