| Reverse description | A full-figure American bison (buffalo) is depicted in left profile, walking across the central field in high relief, with a heavily shaggy mane and prominent musculature. A decorative horizontal band with a geometric Native American pattern serves as a ground line beneath the animal. Thirteen five-pointed stars are arranged in a ring around the periphery of the field. The legend APACHE TRIBES arcs along the upper border, while the denomination QUARTER DOLLAR and the date 2016 appear below the ground line in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Issued under the federal Tribal Nations coin program, these quarters were struck at the U.S. Mint on behalf of sovereign tribal governments — a program that effectively deputized the Mint as a contractor for non-federal issuers. The Jamul Indian Village, a small band of the Kumeyaay Nation located in San Diego County, used the program to produce legal-tender coinage despite having a tribal enrollment of fewer than a hundred members, making it one of the smallest issuers in U.S. monetary history.
