25 Cents Crow tribes

The Native American Mint operated under licensing arrangements with federally recognized tribes, with the Jamul Indian Village of California lending its sovereign authority to authorize issues nominally associated with entirely unrelated nations — in this case, the Crow Tribe of Montana. The Crow Nation itself had no production role. These pieces circulated nowhere in any practical sense and were sold directly to collectors, making the "25 Cents" denomination a legal formality rather than a functional one.
