Description
Serving as the headquarters for the United States Department of War, The Pentagon, is the largest office building in the world, with more than six million total square feet of space, including corridors that stretch 17.5 miles. Completed in 1943, The Pentagon has been the logistical hub for all U.S. Military operations for more than seven decades. This pentagon-shaped coin commemorates The Pentagon’s central role in protecting the American people and defending America’s interests throughout the world.
This unique pentagon-shaped coin is dedicated to the military and civilian members of the Department of War, who enable that organization to meet its mission to protect and defend Americans at home and abroad.
Minted in a brass alloy, this coin contains rich enamel accents on both its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse features the official seal of the Department of War. Positioned at the five points of the pentagon on the coin’s reverse are the official seals of the branches of America’s Armed Forces.
Each coin measures 2 inch x 1 7/8 inches, 44mm (Pentagon).
