(2023-P) Medal U.S. Navy Matte 1 oz Silver

Coin Details

Description

This one-ounce silver matte-finish medal from the Philadelphia Mint honors the United States Navy as part of the Armed Forces Medal Program. The Navy, established on October 13, 1775, has been the primary instrument of American maritime power for nearly 250 years, growing from a small fleet of frigates to the most powerful naval force in world history. The one-ounce silver format provides an accessible precious metal option in the Navy medal program, smaller than the 2.5-ounce premium version (PCGS #899218) but still offering substantial silver content. The matte finish creates the distinctive surface treatment that characterizes the modern Armed Forces Medal series. The Navy's global presence — with carrier strike groups operating across every ocean — underpins the international order and America's ability to project power worldwide. This 2023-P medal continues the annual production of the Armed Forces program, documenting each branch's heritage and service in precious metal.
