| Obverse description | A highly detailed, stylized wolf's head faces the viewer in the center of the coin, rendered in an intricate decorative pattern evoking Native American artistic traditions. Two feather motifs flank the central device at the left and right within the inner border. The circular legend reads 'JAMUL SOVEREIGN NATION' along the upper arc and 'NATIVE INDIAN NATIONS IN AMERICA' along the lower arc, separated by the flanking feather ornaments. |

| Additional information |
Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, California — notably, with no geographic or cultural connection to the Iroquois Confederacy of the northeastern United States. The naming choice here reflects a broader pattern among Native American tribal gaming and token issues of the 2000s and 2010s, where imagery and names were frequently drawn from whichever tribal identity had the strongest commercial recognition rather than the issuer's own heritage.
These copper-nickel pieces circulated as gaming tokens within tribal casino operations, exempt from federal gaming token regulations that govern commercial casinos in Nevada and New Jersey.
