| Additional information |
The Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians, a federally recognized Kumeyaay nation in San Diego County, issued this piece under the framework established by the American Indian Coinage Act — legislation that permitted tribal nations to produce legal tender coinage through arrangements with sovereign island nations, typically the Cook Islands or Palau, acting as the nominal issuing authority. The "Crow tribe" subject matter is unrelated to the issuer, a common feature of these tribal series where one nation's imagery appears on another's licensed issue.
