2018 World War I Centennial Silver Dollar & *ARMY* Medal WWI 2 Coin Set Box COA

In 2018, a silver dollar was issued to commemorate the centennial of the United States’ involvement in World War I. The coin was authorized by Public Law 113-112.

The U.S. became involved in the conflict on April 6, 1917, and first U.S. troops arrived in Europe, France specifically, in 1918. Over the course of the war, we sent more than four million men and women to serve in uniform during what was known as the Great War, including about two million who were deployed overseas. A total of 116,516 soldiers died there and another 200,000 were wounded.

The designs of both sides of this coin were selected using a design competition, and the winning designs were those of LeRoy Transfield – a Utah-based artist originally from New Zealand.

His obverse design called “Solder’s Charge” features an almost stone-faced soldier gripping a rifle with barber wire in the lower right field, while his reverse design, “Poppies in the Wire,” depicts poppies mixed with barbed wire.
