| Reverse description | A stylized frontal depiction of a bear pelt or animal hide dominates the central field, rendered in a flat, graphic manner evoking traditional Native American artistic conventions. The hide is set against a deeply recessed field within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by an ornamental border of interlocking geometric and foliate patterns. The legend 'SANTEE TRIBES 2023' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 'ONE DIME' appears within a banner or cartouche along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, whose tribal gaming authority has issued a limited series of denomination tokens under the broader framework of Native American sovereign currency programs that emerged from IGRA-era economic development. The "Santee tribes" designation here likely references a collaborative or commemorative issue rather than a Santee Sioux attribution — the Santee and Kumeyaay are geographically and linguistically unrelated, which makes the naming worth scrutinizing before cataloging confidently.
At 23 mm and 5.23 g, this piece is heavier than a standard U.S. dime by a considerable margin, suggesting it was never intended for circulation alongside federal coinage.
