Greatest Generation 2024 Proof Five-Dollar Gold Coin

This coin program pays tribute to the National World War II Memorial and honors the sacrifices made by American soldiers and civilians during the conflict. The memorial serves as an important gathering place for commemorative and educational events that celebrate America’s “Greatest Generation” and their dedication to safeguarding freedom for future generations.

On the obverse, the design showcases a segment of the Wall of Stars at the memorial, paired with an Olive Branch. Each star on the wall symbolizes 100 Americans who lost their lives in the war, while the Olive Branch represents the peace achieved through their sacrifices. Inscriptions on this side include “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “2024,” and “WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL.”

The reverse features a folded American flag, reminiscent of those presented at the funerals of fallen service members. The inscriptions here are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “WWII MEMORIAL,” “TO UNITE THE GENERATIONS OF TOMORROW,” and “FIVE DOLLARS.”
