On November 10, 1775, the U.S. Marine Corps celebrates its 250th anniversary of proudly defending America, serving as one of the nation’s (and world’s) most elite combat forces. Driven by a passion for excellence and guided by a courage that knows no bounds, the dedicated warriors of the U.S. Marine Corps have earned a reputation as the “First to Fight,” serving on the front lines of history’s toughest battles. Forever faithful to their pledge to protect and defend America’s freedom, these fierce warriors have engaged America’s enemy’s with unmatched intensity and awe-inspiring enthusiasm, risking their lives to preserve the honor of their beloved Corps and country. This coin salutes the service of all U.S. Marines, past and present, who have contributed to the proud legacy of America’s most celebrated fighting force. The front contains the official USMC Anniversary emblem, in a traditional minting strike style with an antique finish patina and bold transparent enamel highlights bringing out the proud colors of the Corps, the text “ONCE A MARINE, ALWAYS A MARINE” and “SEMPER FIDELIS” boldly displayed. The reverse features a detailed high relief design showing important symbols of the Corps: the Eagle Globe and Anchor (EGA) and the historical birthplace of the Corps at Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, in 1775. Each coin measures 1.75 inch (44mm) in diameter and contains 2 oz. of .999 fine silver. Each coin is packaged in a coin capsule and comes in a museum-quality folding cherrywood pocket box that makes the perfect accessory for presentation and display. ™ United States Marine Corps.
