Description

The 2011 (P) United States Army Commemorative Five Dollar Gold is a commemorative dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint. With a mintage of just 8,052, this is a scarce issue sought by specialists. The gold coin in the U.S. The obverse features five soldiers from different eras — Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, and modern — representing the continuity of service, while the reverse displays the official U.S. Army emblem with 'This We'll Defend' and 'Department of the Army'. Designed by Joel Iskowitz/Joesph Menna. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 8.36 grams, 21.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #506170. The Army $5 gold's five-era soldier composition effectively compresses 250 years of Army history onto a single coin.
