America experienced one of its darkest days in history on September 11, 2001, with a series of devastating attacks. While most people fled the scene seeking safety, firefighters entered the chaos and danger to help. A true hero is willing to lay down his life for others, and on 9/11 and the days that followed, we lost many true heroes. This coin honors the firefighter heroes who put their lives in danger at the expense of saving others not only on 9/11 but every single day.
Coin’s Highlights:
- 3 troy ounces
- .999 pure silver
- 20 Dollars backed by the Cook Islands
- Black proof finish coin ships in a custom gift box
- Limited mintage of 911 coins
The reverse face of the coin features a stunning depiction of our heroes: the firefighter. The image of a New York City Firefighter is featured on this 3 oz Black Proof, which is 50 mm in diameter. The number 343 on the helmet represents the firefighters who died in the Twin Towers that day.
The obverse face features another incredible tribute to the firefighters who were lost on 9/11. The image depicts the silhouettes of two firemen holding a hose to put out the burning Twin Towers. Beneath this scene are the words “ONLY THE BRAVE ARE FREE.” Lastly, the government stamp of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is displayed below the scene. Her effigy is encircled by the denomination of 20 Dollars, backing country of Cook Islands, and the year of issue, 2021.
This coin offers just as much sentimental value as the value of silver in the coin, making it the perfect gift or memorabilia to honor important firefighter heroes in your life. Purchase the 2021 3 oz Real Heroes Firefighter Silver Proof Coin from SD Bullion today.
