2022 National Purple Heart Hall of Honor Colorized Silver Dollar Proof NGC PF70 First Releases w/Ryder Signature

A Stirring Tribute To Those Wounded & Killed In Action

What do Marshall Matt Dillon, private detective Jim Rockford, and the Professor from Gilligan’s Island all have in common? They were all portrayed by actors who had won the Purple Heart in military service for the United States. America’s oldest military award, the Purple Heart has been presented to around 1.8 million servicemembers and their families since the medal was first awarded in 1932. For the 90th anniversary of this prestigious military decoration in 2022, the United States Mint released a series of clad, silver and gold coins that paid tribute to the Purple Heart and the brave men and women who earned this honor through their sacrifice in the service of their country.

A Pair Of Poignant And Remarkable Designs

In this offer you can get the Proof Colorized Silver Dollar that features a pair of remarkable designs. Struck in 26.72 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the coin’s obverse shows the Purple Heart medal with purple shading around the bust of George Washington. You’ll also see 5 stars, one each for the five branches of America’s military. Along the left rim of the coin is an inscription that reads, “COMBAT WOUNDED & KILLED IN ACTION.” On the reverse is a design that not only honors those wounded in combat, but those who cared for them. It depicts a nurse in a World War I-style helmet bandaging a wounded service member on a stretcher.
