2011 Medal of Honor Commemorative Silver Dollar Proof

Action-Packed Coin Honors America's Most Distinguished Veterans

The Medal of Honor is the oldest continuously issued combat decoration of the United States Armed Forces. The medal is given out to recognize distinguished acts of bravery among all branches of the military and so revered that it is normally given out only by the president. Of the 40 million Americans who have served in the Armed Forces since the Civil War, only around 3,500 have ever been awarded the medal. Among those who have received the medal are William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody, President Theodore Roosevelt, Alvin C. York, Charles Lindbergh, and Audie Murphy.
