Seabees Can Do MerlinGold®

Seabee Chiefs lead and inspire the members of one of the most legendary units in U.S. Navy history. Epitomizing their unit's "Can Do" spirit, Seabee Chiefs favor action over words and expect nothing but the best from those in their command.

The Seabees - the Navy's famous mobile construction battalions - have been building and fighting for freedom for over fifty years, erecting bridges, command posts, housing units, and much more to support America's military operations throughout the world.

This coin salutes the efforts of Seabee Chiefs, past and present, whose fearless leadership has contributed to the proud Seabee legacy. The obverse features the Seabee icon beneath the words: "We build. We fight." The reverse depicts an emblem of the US Navy, featuring an eagle grasping an anchor in its talons, encircled by chains and rope, symbolic of naval traditions dating back to the nation’s first ships.

This proof-like coin is minted in MerlinGold,^® a proprietary brass alloy that simulates the look and feel of gold. Each coin comes packaged in a durable Lucite capsule and is accompanied by a detailed header card that describes the Navy's proud heritage.
