1990 Bronze Medal Remember Pearl Harbor 38mm

Coin Details

Description

This 1990 bronze medal at 38mm bears the inscription "Remember Pearl Harbor," echoing the wartime rallying cry that followed the Japanese attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. The attack killed 2,403 Americans and propelled the United States into World War II. "Remember Pearl Harbor" became the most powerful American rallying cry since "Remember the Alamo," galvanizing the nation for war. Private medal producers including the Franklin Mint, Medallic Art Company, and numerous smaller firms have supplemented U.S. Mint production, creating a rich and diverse medallic landscape for American collectors. This medal, produced in 1990 — approaching the fiftieth anniversary of the attack — serves as a memorial to those who died and a reminder of the event that transformed America into a global superpower.
