Skunkworks F 22 Raptor Silver

Combining impressive speed, unmatched agility, and awesome firepower, the F-22 Raptor is a vital component of America's military arsenal.

Engineered and built at Lockheed Martin's super-secret testing facility, known as "Skunk Works," the F-22 was designed as the replacement for the famed F-15 Eagle and was first introduced in 1997.

With a total length of sixty-three feet, eight inches, the F-22 features a wingspan of nearly forty-three feet, and is capable of sustained speeds of greater than 900 miles per hour. As America's premier front-line combat aircraft, the F-22 greatly enhances the maneuverability of U.S. ground forces and strengthens America's military advantage.

This coin salutes the F-22 Raptor's contribution to the success of U.S. military operations throughout the world. As part of the Lockheed Martin "Skunk Works" Series, the obverse features a rendering of the F-22 Raptor. The reverse bears the "Skunk Works" emblem.

Minted in 1 Troy ounce of .999 pure silver, this coin  comes sealed in a tarnish-resistant Lucite capsule and mounted in a museum-quality leatherette presentation box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. .
