Coin Details

Description

This bronze medal from the San Francisco Mint is part of the U.S. Mint's Armed Forces Medal Program honoring the United States Air Force. The "S" mint mark indicates production at the San Francisco Mint, which has historically been associated with premium and specialty products. The bronze composition makes this the most affordable version in the Air Force medal program, accessible to a broad audience of collectors and Air Force supporters. The Air Force, established as an independent service in 1947, has been responsible for American air superiority, strategic nuclear deterrence, space operations, and global airlift capability. The San Francisco Mint bronze version complements the premium 2.5-ounce silver version (PCGS #886306) and other variants in the program. Armed Forces medals are popular gift items for active-duty personnel, veterans, and military families, and the bronze format ensures wide availability for this purpose.
