This 2011 $5 Gold Brilliant Uncirculated Medal of Honor commemorative is the companion to the proof. They both feature the original Medal of Honor first issued in 1861 and the Roman goddess Minerva. Six Union soldiers who hijacked the General, a Confederate locomotive, were the first recipients. This $5 gold coin is a fitting tribute to all those who risked their lives in gallant service.
