Description
Important for morale and Coast Guard culture, Musicians make important contribution to the success of the Coast Guards’s operations.
Musicians play in official Coast Guard bands and special groups such as jazz bands, dance bands and small ensembles. They give concerts and provide music for military ceremonies, religious services, parades, receptions and dances. Official unit bands usually do not include stringed instruments, but each musician must be able to play at least one brass, woodwind or percussion instrument. Sailors are selected for this rating through auditions.
This coin salutes the service of all Musicians, whose tireless dedication to duty helps to support the Coast Guard’s outstanding servicemen and women stationed worldwide.
Each coin measures 1 3/4 inch (44mm) in diameter.
