| Reverse description | The reverse features a forward-facing bust portrait of a Susquehannock chief Wereowance, adorned with feathered headdress and ear ornaments, rendered in bold relief against a dark field. The legend SUSQUEHANNOCK TRIBES arcs along the upper left rim, with the date 2022 positioned at the upper right. The denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower rim. Decorative geometric border elements, consisting of square and diamond shapes in the Native American tradition, frame the composition on either side of the central portrait. |

| Additional information |
The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County — a sovereign nation geographically and culturally remote from the Susquehannock, an Iroquoian-speaking people whose territory centered on the Susquehanna River basin in present-day Pennsylvania and Maryland. That disconnect is the point: under the 2000 Native American $1 Coin Act and subsequent tribal currency programs, issuing tribes are not restricted to commemorating their own ancestral history, which has produced a sprawling catalog of coins where the depicted subject and the issuing authority share no direct connection.
