| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a dragonfly in high relief, shown from above with outspread wings displaying intricate venation, perched amid aquatic vegetation with water splash elements at the lower field. A large circular sunburst motif occupies the background, rendered with fine radial line engraving. The legend THE NATIVE SPIRIT arcs along the upper border, while DRAGONFLY SPIRIT is inscribed along the lower border. The date 2025 appears to the left field and the denomination $1 to the right, all finished in antique style to accentuate the sculptural depth of the composition. |

| Additional information |
The Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation, headquartered on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, gained the authority to issue legal tender coinage through the Coinage Act provisions recognizing sovereign tribal nations. Pine Ridge is one of the most economically distressed regions in the United States, and tribal coinage programs have functioned partly as revenue-generating instruments — the coins rarely circulate and are produced almost exclusively for the collector market.
This 2025 issue is almost certainly struck by a private mint under licensing rather than any tribal minting facility.
