Mintage Limit is the total number of a coin manufactured across all products. (For example, a coin may be available in rolls and in our annual sets).
Product Limit is the number of a coin made available in the individual product.
Household Order Limit In cases where we have limited-mintage products (e.g., legislatively mandated or Mint established production or mintage limits), the United States Mint may impose order or household order limits. Order limits help us ensure that we provide fair purchase opportunities to the broadest audience possible. As we monitor our products, limits may be implemented, adjusted, or removed at our discretion.
The obverse (heads) design depicts Merchant Mariners, representing an engineer, a helmsman, an officer, a steward, and a deckhand, with the bow of a Liberty ship in the background. The design is flanked by the inscriptions “ACT OF CONGRESS 2020” on the lower left and “MERCHANT MARINERS OF WORLD WAR II” on the upper right. The reverse (tails) design portrays a convoy of Liberty ships in columns stretching beyond the horizon as it steams ahead to complete its mission. A “V” for “victory” is superimposed behind the inscription “FULL AHEAD TO VICTORY.”
