U.S. Coast Guard Hard Enamel Coin

Honor Readiness. Celebrate Rescue. Preserve Semper Paratus Legacy.

This U.S. Coast Guard Hard Enamel Coin is a premium collectible inspired by the dedicated men and women of America’s oldest continuous seagoing service — established in 1790, the United States Coast Guard stands ready 24/7 to protect the nation’s maritime interests, save lives at sea, and enforce federal law on the waters . Featuring iconic Coast Guard symbols — the official service emblem with crossed anchors, the racing stripe found on all Coast Guard vessels and aircraft, and the motto “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready) — this coin embodies the core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty that define the guardians of America’s waters .

The United States Coast Guard operates across 11 statutory missions, from search and rescue and maritime law enforcement to environmental protection and national defense. Whether patrolling the nation’s 95,000 miles of coastline, interdicting drug smugglers, or responding to hurricanes, Coast Guard members exemplify the fighting spirit of the “Always Ready” force. This coin honors their service — from the rescue swimmer deploying into treacherous seas to the cutter crew interdicting illegal narcotics .
