The Poarch Band of Creek Indians have lived together for nearly 150 years. They are a subset of the original Creek Nation, who occupied nearly all of Georgia and Alabama. The War of 1812 divided the Creek Nation between an Upper party hostile to the United States and a group of Upper and Lower Creeks friendly to the government. After the victory, the Creek Nation reluctantly agreed to an enormous cession of land to the United States. Those Creeks who had actively fought with the United States were permitted a reservation of one square mile in Alabama. Today, there are approximately 2,270 members of the Poarch Creek Indian Tribe.

With the release of their 2004 precious metal coin series, the Sovereign Nation of the Poarch Creek Indians became the fourth native American group to issue a coin. These releases commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 11 August, 1984 formal recognition by the US Department of the Interior of the Poarch Creek Nation. Poarch Creek coins are distributed exclusively by Panda America.
