This collection contains one 1993 WWII Half Dollar and one 1993 WWII Silver Dollar directly from the United States Mint. These two releases honor the 50th anniversary of the United States’ involvement in World War II, with each piece paying respect to our numerous veterans in the armed forces.
The Half Dollar is from the Denver Mint and has an obverse that features three individual soldiers serving in different branches of the military. The reverse of this coin features a soldier from the Pacific Theater engaging in the island-hopping that defined the campaign.
The 1993 Proof Silver Dollar’s obverse depicts the iconic scene of the soldier charging up out of the water and onto the shores of Normandy, France. The Reverse of this special silver dollar displays the shoulder-sleeve insignia of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force alongside a quote from General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
“I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory!”
