2024-P Greatest Generation Silver Dollar NGC MS70 First Day of Issue

U.S. Mint Commemorates Legacy Of Greatest Generation

As eloquently described by journalist Tom Brokaw in his book The Greatest Generation, the Americans who were born during the Roaring ’20s, grew up during the Depression-era ’30s, served in World War II, and then led the United States through the post-war boom earned that sobriquet through hard work, determination, and perseverance. To honor this generation and inspire future generations of Americans, Congress authorized construction of the National World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Now, on the 20th anniversary of its opening, the United States Mint is striking a series of commemorative coins that both honor the memorial and pay tribute to the legacy of the Greatest Generation.

Silver Dollar Designs Represent Victory Achieved Through Cooperation

Here you can secure the Greatest Generation Silver Dollar struck by the Philadelphia Mint. The design on this highly pure 99.9% fine silver coin features six people each representing a different branch of America’s military from World War II—the Army Air Forces, Coast Guard, Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and Merchant Marine—working together in a spirit of cooperation to support the Earth. Inscriptions include “1941–1945,” “WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL,” and “DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM.” The coin’s reverse design shows a view from inside a Victory Pavilion in the World War II Memorial. The sculpture depicts four eagles holding a laurel wreath. At the center of the wreath is a globe with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Inscriptions include, “VICTORY,” “IN THE AIR,” “AT SEA,” “ON LAND,” and “WWII MEMORIAL.”

The National World War II Memorial

Part of that effort includes a surcharge raised from sales of the coins that will go towards the Friends of the National World War II Memorial to support the National Park Service in maintaining the site and funding educational programs. The National World War II Memorial opened to the public on April 29, 2004 and honors the spirit, sacrifice, and commitment of the 16 million people who served in the United States armed forces during the war—including more than 400,000 who died—and all who supported the war effort on the home front.
