2022 National Purple Heart Hall of Honor Commemorative Gold Coin Uncirculated Reverse
In 2022, the U.S. Mint released the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor $5 Gold Coin as part of the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor Commemorative Coin Program. It honored the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, an institution that commemorates the extraordinary sacrifice of U.S. servicemembers who have been awarded the Purple Heart. The Mint also struck a silver dollar coin and a clad half dollar coin with different designs as part of the program.
On May 28, 1932, 136 World War I veterans became the first recipients of the Purple Heart. Since then, it has been awarded to an estimated 1.8 million servicemen and servicewomen. The Purple Heart is currently awarded to any member of the U.S. Armed Forces who has been wounded or killed by enemy action.
The obverse (heads) design features the Purple Heart medal.
The reverse (tails) design places George Washington’s signature under the Badge of Military Merit and over a textured stripe.
