Indigenous Native American tribes have tribal sovereignty in the United States, giving them the authority to govern themselves within the borders of the United States. These tribes are considered "domestic dependent nations," which is a form of parallel sovereignty within the U.S. constitutional framework. This coin is an official commercial item that represents the tribe, but there is no legal face value, as tribes are not allowed to create their own currencies. This ability is reserved for the federal government.
Coin Highlights: - Contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver.
- Coins come in a protective plastic capsule.
- Obverse: An incredible portrait of a Shawnee Indian in typical ceremonial dress. Around the rim is the weight of 1 troy oz, the purity and the year.
- Reverse: The animals in this series are selected based off animals the tribes would have come in contact with and animals associated with each state. The Kentucky state coin features the Squirrel and the Shawnee Indian Tribe.
- These are non-circulating, legally authorized coins by a federally recognized sovereign nation, but are not legal tender.
