The legend 'SIOUX' arcs above in stylized lettering, while the lower border bears the inscriptions '1 OZ. .999 SILVER · 2020 · ONE DOLLAR' arranged in a curved arc around the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Los Coyotes is among the most geographically isolated reservations in California, occupying roughly 25,000 acres in the San Bernardino Mountains with no casino and no significant commercial infrastructure — an unusual position for a federally recognized tribe in the post-IGRA decades. The band has periodically issued silver rounds to generate revenue outside the gaming economy that most neighboring nations depend on.
The Sioux teepee motif is pan-Indian iconography with no direct connection to Cahuilla or Cupeño material culture, whose peoples historically built dome-shaped brush shelters called *kishes*.
