Core Features
-
Authentic & Mission-Driven Design
This coin is a dedicated tribute to USS Portland (LPD-27). Its design prominently features the ship’s hull number, its unique crest—often incorporating the city of Portland’s iconic rose and maritime elements—and symbols of its amphibious mission, such as landing craft, helicopters, or the silhouette of the San Antonio-class vessel. The motto “Semper Invicta” (Always Unconquered) reinforces its identity. -
Premium Naval-Grade Craftsmanship
Struck from heavyweight metal with precision high-relief engraving, the coin conveys substance and authority. Finishes like antique silver, polished brass, or gunmetal, accented with vibrant enamel (often in the ship’s signature colors), highlight intricate details. Every element, from the ship’s lines to insignia textures, is rendered with the durability and quality befitting naval tradition. -
Exclusive Historical & Unit Provenance
This coin is intrinsically linked to the ship’s service history, including its namesake’s legacy and critical roles in fleet operations, disaster response, and technological testing (such as supporting directed energy weapon systems).
