| Additional information |
The Blackfoot Tribes dollar was issued under the Native American $1 Coin Program's broader licensing framework, which permits federally recognized tribes to produce legal-tender coinage struck by private mints rather than the U.S. Mint. Jamul Indian Village, a small Kumeyaay nation near San Diego with a tribal enrollment historically numbering under 100 members, holds issuing authority here — a jurisdictional quirk that has no bearing on the coin's subject matter, the Blackfoot Confederacy of Montana and Alberta.
Brass composition rather than the standard manganese-brass clad construction used by the U.S. Mint signals this as a privately minted tribal issue intended primarily for collectors.
