March 6, 2023 - WASHINGTON – The United States Mint (Mint) will accept orders for the 2.5 ounce Armed Forces Silver Medal honoring the U.S. Army beginning on March 6 at noon United States Army Silver Medal 2.5 OunceEST. Mintage is limited to 10,000 units. Orders are limited to one medal per household. This medal is part of the Mint’s Armed Forces series of medals, which honors each branch of the United States military.

The medal’s obverse (heads) design depicts Continental and modern soldiers “at the ready” with the weapons of their respective eras. They represent the continuity of the U.S. Army since its beginnings and its continuing mission to defend our country. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES ARMY” and “SINCE 1775.” United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Designer Lucas Durham created the obverse design, which United States Mint Medallic Artist Craig A. Campbell sculpted.

The reverse (tails) design juxtaposes the seven core values of the Army against the U.S. Army flag, with both the flag and its streamers lifted by a breeze. The streamers from several major battles have visible text, including APPOMATTOX 1865, LEXINGTON 1775, ABEYANCE 2014-2015, TET COUNTEROFFENSIVE 1968, and LUZON 1944-1945. Inscriptions are the Army’s core values—”LOYALTY,” “DUTY,” “RESPECT,” “SELFLESS SERVICE,” “HONOR,” “INTEGRITY,” and “PERSONAL COURAGE.” AIP Designer Emily Damstra created the design, which United States Mint Medallic Artist Renata Gordon sculpted.

The Armed Forces Silver Medals are struck in 99.9 percent fine silver and are two inches in diameter. Each medal is encapsulated and packaged in a presentation case. A certificate of authenticity is included.

The 2.5 ounce U.S. Army Silver Medal is priced at $175. To set up a REMIND ME alert for this product (product code S22ME), visit https://catalog.usmint.gov/army-2.5-ounce-silver-medal-S22ME.html/.
