PLATOON VIETNAM 1965-1975 40th Anniversary Memorial Coin

Detailed Design and Style Options

This stunning memorial coin comes in two distinct, breathtaking finishes to match your personal collecting style. Each side of the coin is packed with intricate, historically inspired elements that bring the era to life.

• The Gold Style: This option features a rich, polished gold-plated base. On the front side, three detailed combat soldiers are positioned in the center, wading through dense jungle foliage with their rifles drawn. Flanking them are military insignia, including the famous “Big Red One” 1st Infantry Division shield on the left and the 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagle” patch on the right. Above the soldiers, a central shield prominently displays the number “40” with a small red skull inside, topped by five gold stars. Two iconic helicopters—a Huey utility chopper on the left and a Cobra attack helicopter on the right—soar through a red and black sky. The bottom is anchored by a ribbon reading “VIETNAM 1965-1975” alongside the yellow and red Vietnam Service Ribbon bars. The outer border is deeply engraved with the words “PLATOON 2026 = 40 YEARS” and “BROTHERS FOR LIFE”. The reverse side features a pair of rugged combat boots with hanging dog tags in the center, flanked by crossed rifles, a naval patrol boat, and a guard tower.

• The Silver Style: For a sleek, classic look, the silver edition offers a monochromatic masterpiece highlighted by vibrant color accents. The front side showcases a soldier kneeling in the water with his arms raised toward the sky, set against a backdrop of a green, white, and red tri-color flag. It bears the solemn phrases “ALL GAVE SOME” and “VIETNAM 1965-1975” on grave-like markers in the jungle. The reverse side features a large 101st Airborne eagle patch over the tri-color flag, surrounded by various military division crests at the bottom border, including the 1st Marine Division Guadalcanal patch and the 25th Infantry Division lightning bolt.
