2022-W Purple Heart HOH Colorized $1 Silver Prf (w/Box & CoA)

This modern silver dollar, minted at the West Point facility, stands as a vivid tribute to the courage and selflessness of the United States military. Crafted from 0.999 fine silver, the coin contains 0.8595 troy ounces of precious metal. It was created to mark the founding of the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, celebrating those brave individuals who have been wounded or lost their lives in service to the nation since the Civil War. The front of the coin features a vibrant, colorized depiction of the Purple Heart medal. Surrounding this central image is the poignant inscription, "Combat Wounded & Killed in Action," emphasizing the profound cost of freedom. The reverse side shifts the focus to the care and recovery of these heroes, illustrating a World War I nurse tending to an injured soldier, a powerful reminder of the enduring support provided to those on the front lines.
