2011 $5 U.S. Army PRF (Box & COA) – SKU #63538

Description

This 2011 $5 Army proof coin contains .2419 troy ounces of gold and is a great addition to any military collection! The United States Army was established by Continental Congress on June 14, 1775 in order to repel the British invaders during the American Revolution. The first US Armies were mostly made up of volunteers, with mercenaries and paid conscripts eventually joining forces as the war progressed. Given that we are still the free country called the United States of America today, we definitely owe a great debt of gratitude to all those who have served in our armed forces over the past 250 years. The commemorative coin is a great way to both hold gold and pay tribute to the US Army!
