| 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.
