USMC 250th Anniversary Coin — Coin
A Quarter Millennium of Service
Two hundred and fifty years of honor, courage, and commitment. The United States Marine Corps was born on November 10, 1775, in Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, and has been defending the nation ever since. This 250th Anniversary coin commemorates a milestone that no other branch of the U.S. military has yet reached with the same unbroken spirit of combat excellence.
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, from Belleau Wood to Guadalcanal, from the Chosin Reservoir to Fallujah, Marines have answered every call the nation has made for 250 years. This commemorative coin celebrates that legacy — the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor that has been earned by every man and woman who has completed the transformation from civilian to Marine. The 250th Anniversary represents not just a milestone in time, but a quarter millennium of the warrior ethos, the rifle squad mentality, and the fierce pride that makes every Marine part of something larger than themselves.
Perfect For:
Every Marine past and present, Marine Corps families, collectors of military commemoratives, Marine Corps Birthday Ball attendees, veterans of all eras, and anyone who understands that once a Marine, always a Marine.
Two hundred and fifty years — and the Corps is just getting started.
