US Army One Ounce Silver Medal Becomes Available On May 7
2024, May 7

US Mint - The United States Mint (Mint) will open sales for the U.S. Army One Ounce Silver Medal on May 7 at noon EDT. The medal is part of the United States Armed Forces Silver Medal Program, which honors the proud history and unique traditions of each branch of the Armed Forces.

Designs featured on this medal are emblematic of the history and mission of the U.S. Army. The obverse (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." United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Designer Lucas Durham created the design, which United States Mint Medallic Artist Craig A. Campbell sculpted.

The reverse (tails) design 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." AIP Designer Emily Damstra created the design, which Medallic Artist Renata Gordon sculpted.

One ounce medals in the Armed Forces Silver Medal Program are 1.598 inches in diameter and are struck in 99.9 percent fine silver. Each medal is encapsulated and packaged in a single presentation case. The Mint's certificate of authenticity is included.

The U.S. Army One Ounce Silver Medal is priced at $75. To set up a "Remind Me" alert for this product, visit usmint.gov/us-army-one-ounce-silver-medal-SAR1.html (product code SAR1). To view the Mint's complete portfolio of medals, please visit https://catalog.usmint.gov/shop/medals/

I served in the Regular Army for 7.5 years. . .owed Uncle Sugar 4 years active and two years in the USAR coming out of college as a butter bar. Elected not to do anything with USAR or the NG. . .had had my fill of the military at that juncture. I will add this medal (proudly) to my collection. Have passed on the other service silver medals.

I served 12 years in the Navy with the full intent to go the full 20, but a catastrophic injury force me out at 12 - now rated at 90% by the VA.
But I'm getting all the services medals (all 3 types - 2.5 oz Silver, 1 oz Silver, and the 1 ounce Bronze one)

I have not purchased any of the US Mint military silver medals and I won't be ordering this one. I've also stopped buying the presidential silver medals for the same reason which is high price.
To me, paying $75/$80 for something that is not limited or hard to find is too much.
The only orders I will place with the US Mint this year are the two Silver Eagle proofs and the uncirculated W. I am too far into my Silver Eagle collection to stop now.

I agree. I put all of them on my list of things that I may want to revisit some day.
