| Additional information |
Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, California — not North Carolina, which makes the opossum attribution on this issue a marketing choice rather than a geographic or cultural one. Beginning around 2010, a wave of small tribal nations began contracting with private minting firms to produce .999 silver rounds under the legal framework of the American Indian Arts and Crafts Act, issuing them as "dollars" with nominal face values that carry no monetary backing. Jamul is among the smaller bands to participate in this trade, with a enrolled membership historically under 100 people.
Collector appetite for these tribal issues is driven almost entirely by the novelty series market, not numismatic depth.
