The National Purple Heart Honor Mission led the historic effort to develop the nation’s first U.S. Minted commemorative coin honoring our Purple Heart heroes. These limited-edition legal tender coins, unveiled on Veterans Day, will be available in three denominations - $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins, and half-dollar clad coins – and will be produced by the United States Mint and available to the public in 2022. Each coin, designed in consultation with Purple Heart recipients, helps tell the story of the Purple Heart and pays tribute to our heroes from across the generations.

Proceeds from sale of the coins will be directed to the National Purple Heart Honor Mission to help us tell stories of valor and sacrifice to communities across the nation.
