Description

2012 Infantry Soldier Commemorative Dollar

Characteristics

The obverse (heads side) design of the 2012 Infantry Soldier Silver Dollar features a modern Infantry soldier on rocky ground charging forward and beckoning the troops to follow, symbolizing the “Follow Me” motto of the Infantry. The representation of the contemporary soldier captures the essence of the Infantry’s motto.

The reverse (tails) design features the crossed rifles insignia, the branch insignia of the Infantry. The insignia is a universally recognizable symbol of the Infantry, as all members wear it.

Both 2012 Infantry Soldier Silver Dollar designs were approved by the Department of the Treasury on July 19, 2011, at the recommendation of the United States Mint, after consultation with the National Infantry Foundation and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, as well as review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
