Iwo Jima Flag Raising Commemorative Coin Description

Iwo Jima Flag Raising Commemorative Coin

Honor Valor. Celebrate Sacrifice. Preserve Marine Corps Legacy.

This Iwo Jima Flag Raising Commemorative Coin is a premium collectible inspired by one of the most iconic and defining moments of World War II—the raising of the American flag atop Mount Suribachi on February 23, 1945, captured by photographer Joe Rosenthal . Featuring the legendary flag-raising imagery and the official Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem of the United States Marine Corps, this coin embodies the core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment that define the Marines who fought with uncommon valor on the black sands of Iwo Jima .

The Battle of Iwo Jima was one of the fiercest and bloodiest campaigns of the Pacific War, claiming over 26,000 American casualties. Twenty-two U.S. Marines and five Navy corpsmen earned the Medal of Honor for their actions—representing 28% of all Medals of Honor awarded to Marines during World War II . This coin honors their service—from the beach landings to the summit of Mount Suribachi, and the enduring legacy of the Marine Corps.
