Honor the courage and sacrifice of American service members with this 1991-P Korean War Memorial Proof Silver Dollar. Issued by the United States Mint to commemorate the 38th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, this coin pays tribute to the veterans of a conflict often remembered as the “Forgotten War.”

The obverse, designed by John Mercanti, depicts an advancing infantry soldier with naval ships and military aircraft in the background. The reverse, designed by T. James Ferrell, features a map of the Korean Peninsula divided at the 38th parallel, accompanied by an American bald eagle. The proof finish highlights the detailed designs with frosted relief and brilliant, mirror-like fields.
