1 oz Silver Round US Army Because of the Brave
The origins of the United States Army date back to the American Revolutionary War, when colonial militias united to form the Continental Army in their fight against British rule. Under the leadership of George Washington as Commander-in-Chief, the Continental Army laid the foundation for what would become the modern U.S. Army. Today, the Army stands as a highly trained and disciplined force dedicated to protecting American interests across the globe.
The U.S. Army encountered its first major challenge during the War of 1812 against Great Britain. Among the conflict’s defining moments was the defense of Fort McHenry, an event that inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The war ultimately strengthened the nation’s standing and contributed to its territorial expansion.
During World War I, the Army’s role expanded significantly. American forces, known as the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), were instrumental in shifting momentum in favor of the Allies. In World War II, the Army undertook an even greater global mission, fighting across multiple theaters and playing a decisive role in the defeat of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
The obverse of the 1 oz Army Silver Round features the official emblem honoring the United States Army. Over the centuries, the Army has continually modernized its structure, strategy, and technology to address emerging threats while remaining steadfast in its commitment to national defense.
On the reverse, the round presents a detailed depiction of the American flag. First introduced during the Revolutionary era, the Stars and Stripes has evolved alongside the nation, symbolizing its growth and unity. This design side also bears the inscription: HOME OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.
