USS ENTERPRISE COIN

Celebrate the legacy of the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Launched on September 24, 1960, and named in honor of the most decorated World War II ship, the “Big E” boasts a distinguished service record spanning more than four decades. Measuring 1,101 feet from bow to stern, it carries 85 aircraft and over 5,800 officers and crew, playing a vital role in operations including the Global War on Terrorism and launching early air strikes in Operation Enduring Freedom.

This commemorative coin honors the skill and courage of all personnel aboard the USS Enterprise. The obverse features a montage of the original U.S. Navy Enterprise, the Space Shuttle Enterprise, and the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), while the reverse bears the ship’s official emblem. Struck from solid bronze using special deep-relief coining dies and finished with an antique patina, the coin captures exceptional detail.
