Army Special Forces Bronze Antique

Army Special Forces

Renowned for their superior skill, unmatched precision, and fierce discipline, the soldiers of the U.S. Army's Special Forces unit, also known as the Green Berets, are members of the world's most elite specialized fighting force.

The Green Berets, first established as an agent of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War 2, have served with distinction in every major American conflict over the past five decades. An extremely versatile force, the Green Berets are capable of executing a complete range of deep cover operations, including direct action, counter-terrorism, special reconnaissance, and search and recovery campaigns. Masters of utilizing the element of surprise to complete their clandestine missions, Special Forces Soldiers have earned the reputation as "Quiet Professionals."

This coin honors the Special Forces' unique contribution to the success of America's military operations throughout the world and salutes the courage of those soldiers skilled enough to wear the Green Beret.

This coin is minted in a brass alloy and coated with an antique bronze finish. Emblazoned with the Army Special Forces emblem, the obverse contains an enameled rim. The reverse contains a space for engraving. Each coin comes packaged with a detailed header card that describes the mission and history of the U.S. Army.
