Description
This coin is dedicated to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduating class of 2027, and honors all those who play a role in training and preparing the Coast Guard’s commissioned officers for victory.
The United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) is a service academy of the United States Coast Guard in New London, Connecticut. Founded in 1876, it is the smallest of the five U.S. service academies and provides education to future Coast Guard officers in one of nine major fields of study.
Students are officers-in-training and are referred to as cadets, and upon graduation receive a Bachelor of Science degree and are commissioned as Coast Guard ensigns with a five-year active-duty service obligation, with additional years if the graduate attends flight school or subsequent government-funded graduate school. Out of approximately 250 cadets entering the academy each summer, around 200 graduate. Cadets can choose from among nine majors, with a curriculum that is graded according to their performance in a holistic program of academics, physical fitness, character, and leadership.
This handsome challenge coin is made of Zinc , finished in a shiny gold plating and given a 3D UV Print on the obverse with enamel highlights on the reverse.
Each coin measures 2″ x  1.6″ (50mm x 40.6mm).
