| Reverse description | Central field depicts a large igloo set within a snowy arctic landscape, rendered with detailed surface faceting to suggest blocks of ice and compacted snow. Small diamond-shaped ornamental devices flank the igloo at left and right. The legend 'ESKIMO TRIBES' curves along the upper arc of the field, with the denomination '1 CENT' inscribed centrally below it. The date '2016' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative line elements. |

| Additional information |
The Native American Mint is a private commercial operation, not a federally recognized tribal mint or a U.S. government facility. Pieces like this one carry no legal tender status and were marketed primarily as novelty collectibles. The "Eskimo Tribes" designation is itself a loose commercial label — "Eskimo" has largely been replaced in formal usage by "Inuit" or specific group names, a linguistic shift well underway by 2016.
