A row of small five-pointed stars flanks the upper legend IDAHO along the upper rim. The inscription BLACKFOOT and the date 2017 appear along the lower rim. The field is smooth and polished, giving the piece a proof-like appearance. |

| Additional information |
The "Native American Mint" is a private commercial operation, not a federally authorized mint. These pieces are not legal tender and were not struck under U.S. Mint authority. They are novelty items — typically copper-nickel blanks with applied colorized or engraved imagery — sold through television shopping channels and direct-mail marketing, often to buyers who mistake them for official government coinage.
Idaho was admitted to the Union in 1890, the forty-third state. No official U.S. quarter bearing Idaho's name was struck in 2017; the genuine Idaho Statehood Quarter was issued in 2007 under the 50 State Quarters Program.
