2022 $5 Gold National Purple Heart Hall of Honor PCGS PR70 First Strike
A Grateful Nation Honors And Remembers
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. Now, on the 90th anniversary of this prestigious military decoration, the United States Mint has released a series of clad, silver and gold coins that pay tribute to the Purple Heart and the brave men and women who have 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 $5 Gold Proof that features a pair of remarkable designs. Struck in 7.65 grams of highly pure 90% fine gold, the coin’s obverse shows the Purple Heart Medal featuring the bust of George Washington. To the right of the medal is an inscription that reads, “THE NPURPLE HEART.” Along the bottom rim of the coin is an inscription that reads, “A GRATEFUL NATION HONORS AND REMEMBERS.” On the reverse is a design of the Badge of Military Merit, an award presented by George Washington to veterans from the Revolutionary War and served as the basis for the modern-era Purple Heart. The design shows George Washington’s facsimile signature below the Badge of Merit along with the 1782 date for when it was first awarded and an inscription that reads, “BADGE OF MERIT.”
What’s more, each 2022 $5 Gold National Purple Heart Hall of Honor Coin available here has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PR70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, PCGS has certified that these proofs are First Strike (FS) coins, a designation that means they were received by PCGS or a PCGS-approved depository within the first 30 days of the coin’s release.
