2021 Jamul Nation Santee Tribe & Dolphin Silver Dollar

Get the latest silver dollar Proof in the Jamul Nation series celebrating Native American tribes and indigenous animals of each of the 50 states. Struck in 1 oz. 99.9% pure silver to the highest Proof standard, each coin features sharp frosted images against gleaming mirrorlike fields. This 2021 issue features a member of the historic Santee Tribe of South Carolina, which numbered around 1,000 in 1600. Known as “the people of the river,” the Santees fished, hunted and grew crops along the waterway that eventually emptied into the Atlantic. The reverse shows the bottlenose dolphin whose name originates from its blunt snout. This intelligent animal with a playful personality lives in temperate coastal waters and is the official state marine mammal of South Carolina.

Officially recognized as a sovereign nation by the U.S. government, the Jamul Tribe is legally authorized to issue its own commemorative coins. This handsome silver dollar Proof makes an exciting addition for collectors of this unique commemorative series – or as inspiration to start one!
