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.

Each is rendered as a shape without details, hinting at the way OSS agents sought to operate anonymously or “in the shadows.” The diversity in the OSS is also reflected by the shadowy figures, representing that OSS members were men and women, civilian and military. The design also features the dates “1942 – 1945.” The years during which the OSS operated.
Reverse: The reverse design features the OSS Spearhead inscribed with code words related to important OSS missions and agents.
