The U.S.Mint celebrates the moments in American History by creating medals to recognize individuals who've made a real difference or to honor and show pride for meaningful places.

Some of these medals are part of an ongoing series. Examples are the U.S.Presidents, American Liberty (2019, 2022, 2023), and the U.S.Military, while others are limited-time releases, like the Comic Art Coin and Medal Program, which I think adds a fun twist to the collection.

One series honors the six branches of the U.S. Armed Forces: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, and Space Force. These medals show pride in each branch's history and traditions.

2025 Armed Forces Silver Medal: U.S. Army

The U.S. Army Medal is 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver. The coin is matte in finish, which the U.S.Mint excels in!

The obverse designer is Lucas Durham, Artistic Infusion Program Designer, and it was sculpted by Craig A. Campbell of U.S.Mint Medallic Artist.

The obverse design (heads) depicts Continental and modern soldiers “at the ready” with the weapons of their respective eras. They represent the continuity of the U.S. Army since its beginnings and its continuing mission to defend our country. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES ARMY,” and “SINCE 1775.”
(Taken from the material included in coin packaging.)

The reverse design (tails) juxtaposes the seven core values of the Army against the U.S. Army flag, with both the flag and its streamers lifted by a breeze. The streamers from several major battles have visible text, including APPOMATTOX 1865, LEXINGTON 1775, ABEYANCE 2014 - 2015, TET COUNTEROFFENSIVE 1968, and LUZON 1944 - 1945. Inscriptions are the Army’s core values— “LOYALTY,” “DUTY,” “RESPECT,” “SELFLESS SERVICE,” “HONOR,” “INTEGRITY,” and “PERSONAL COURAGE.”

The Armed Forces Medal program started in 2021. By law, the Secretary of the Treasury is given the power and authority to approve national medals.

So when the Mint creates these medals, it's not just about making something shiny.

It's about telling a story, preserving history, and honoring service...

in a way that I can hold it in my hands.
