2024-D Greatest Generation Clad Half 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.

Half Dollar Designs Honor Those Who Answered The Call During WWII

Here you can secure the Greatest Generation Clad Half Dollar struck by the Denver Mint in original Uncirculated (Unc) condition and beautifully housed in its original mint packaging. The design on this coin features a modernized image of the nation's Victory Medal that was awarded to all who served in America's Armed Forces during World War II. The figure of Liberation stands with open arms holding two halves of a broken sword, symbolizing the war's conclusion. It also features inscriptions that read, "WORLD WAR II" and "WE ANSWERED THE CALL." The coin's reverse design depicts the World War II Memorial from the point of view of a person walking up a ramp leading to one of the towers.

The National World War II Memorial

The 2024 Greatest Generation Commemorative Coin Program honors the service and sacrifice of American soldiers and civilians during World War II. 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.
