One side of the coin has an image of Soldiers in battle. The other side has the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps insignias. It is marked on the two sides as follows: 200 YEARS PROUD
1775 - 1975
U.S. MARINE CORPS This commemorative coin measures 1-1/2'' wide. It appears to be in excellent condition as pictured. Below here, for reference is some additional information: History of the United States Marine Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The history of the United States Marine Corps began with the founding of the Continental Marines on 10 November 1775 to conduct ship to ship fighting, provide shipboard security and discipline enforcement, and assist in landing forces. Its mission evolved with changing military doctrine and foreign policy of the United States. Owing to the availability of Marine forces at sea, the United States Marine Corps has served in nearly every conflict in United States history. It attained prominence when its theories and practice of amphibious warfare proved prescient, and ultimately formed a cornerstone of the Pacific Theater of World War II. By the early 20th century, the Marine Corps would become one of the dominant theorists and practitioners of amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises has made and continues to make it an important tool for American foreign policy. |
