U.S. Army One Ounce Silver Medal Becomes Available on May 7
April 30 2024 - 12:30PM
The United States Mint (Mint) will open sales for the U.S. Army One
Ounce Silver Medal on May 7 at noon EDT. The medal is part of
the United States Armed Forces Silver Medal Program, which honors
the proud history and unique traditions of each branch of the Armed
Forces.
Designs featured on this medal are emblematic of the history and
mission of the U.S. Army. The obverse (heads) depicts
Continental and modern soldiers “at the ready” with the weapons of
their respective eras. They represent the continuity of the
U.S. Army since its beginnings and its continuing mission to defend
our country. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES ARMY” and “SINCE
1775.” United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP)
Designer Lucas Durham created the design, which United States Mint
Medallic Artist Craig A. Campbell sculpted.
The reverse (tails) design juxtaposes the seven core values of
the Army against the U.S. Army flag, with both the flag and its
streamers lifted by a breeze. The streamers from several
major battles have visible text, including APPOMATTOX 1865,
LEXINGTON 1775, ABEYANCE 2014 - 2015, TET COUNTEROFFENSIVE 1968,
and LUZON 1944 - 1945. Inscriptions are the Army’s core
values— “LOYALTY,” “DUTY,” RESPECT,” “SELFLESS SERVICE,” “HONOR,”
“INTEGRITY,” and “PERSONAL COURAGE.” AIP Designer Emily
Damstra created the design, which Medallic Artist Renata Gordon
sculpted.
One ounce medals in the Armed Forces Silver Medal Program are
1.598 inches in diameter and are struck in 99.9 percent fine
