The coins in this program commemorate the National World War II Memorial and the service, and sacrifice of American soldiers and civilians during World War II. The National World War II Memorial is a special place to gather to have commemorative and educational programs that pay tribute to America’s “Greatest Generation” and their effort to preserve freedoms for generations to come.
Obverse: This design features a section of the Wall of Stars at the World War II Memorial and an Olive Branch. Each star on the wall represents 100 Americans who lost their lives in the war, and the Olive Branch represents the peace that followed thanks to their sacrifice. The inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “2024,” and “WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL.”
Reverse: This design shows a folded American flag, such as one that would be presented at the funeral of a fallen service member. The inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “WWII MEMORIAL,” “TO UNITE THE GENERATIONS OF TOMORROW,” and “FIVE DOLLARS.”
Surcharges in the amount of $35 for each $5 gold coin sold are authorized to be provided to the non-profit Friends of the National World War II Memorial to support the National Park Service in maintaining and repairing the National World War II Memorial, and for educational and commemorative programs.
