Celebrate the proud history of the United States Marine Corps with this exclusive 250th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Series–Coin 7 of 12.
1900-1920
The early decades of the 1920s were a critical period of growth for the Marine Corps. The primary mission became the seizure and defense of advanced bases in support of U.S. interests—a task Marines performed well across the globe in places such as Panama, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and China. In 1912, Lieutenant Alfred A. Cunningham began an independent Marine Corps aviation program and contributed to the development of dive-bombing tactics. The Marines Corps then saw a massive expansion in the First World War and won global acclaim for its tenacity at the Battle of Belleau Wood.
250th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Series: Delivered monthly, each coin highlights a pivotal era in the Corps’ rich heritage, honoring the valor, traditions, and legacy that have defined the Marines for centuries. Beautifully crafted, these coins are a must-have for collectors, veterans, and anyone inspired by the enduring spirit of the USMC.
