“In Appreciation of Excellence”
Founded in 1775, the U.S. Navy has been an unstoppable force for freedom for more than two centuries, preserving peace whenever possible and fighting injustice at every turn.
Faithfully fulfilling its first mission to protect America and its citizens from history’s most dangerous and destructive regimes, the Navy, with its legion of skillful sailors and airmen, has consistently overpowered all those who have sought to undermine the American way of life. Staring down every threat with boundless courage and tireless resolve, these heroic men and women have performed their duty well, ensuring America’s protection through the ages.
Dedicated to sustaining America’s undisputed maritime supremacy, the U.S. Navy remains always committed to training and equipping the most highly skilled personnel in the world.
This coin salutes the outstanding efforts of all U.S. Navy personnel, who risk their lives each day to keep us safe. Bordered by a classic wreath design, the obverse of this coin contains a space for engraving located directly below the words “In Appreciation of Excellence.” The reverse depicts an emblem of the US Navy, featuring an eagle grasping an anchor in its talons, encircled by chains and rope, symbolic of naval traditions dating back to the nation’s first ships.
Each coin measures 1.5 inch (39mm) in diameter.
