When your 2019 Proof California Kumeyaay Grizzly Bear 1 oz Silver Coin arrives, it will be protected in a plastic capsule. The coins do have a $1 face value, but federal law states that the United States Mint is the only mint legally authorized to produce legal tender. This gets further complicated by the fact that sovereign tribal nations can assign and back the dollar value of their coins.

The Kumeyaay people have a low population of just 3,200 across the nation today. In years gone by, their territory included southern areas of California and the Baja California peninsula of Mexico.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2019 Proof California Kumeyaay Grizzly Bear 1 oz Silver Coin features the beautifully designed image of the North American grizzly bear, with two cubs. This apex predator is also referred to as a brown bear. Explorers Lewis & Clark famously named the bear a grizzly bear after encountering one.
