New Legal Tender Coin Remembers the 75th Anniversary of the "Day That Will Live In Infamy"

NILES, Ill. - Nov. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- The Bradford Exchange Mint is pleased to announce the release of The 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor Silver Crown. This new, one crown face value legal tender coin is richly plated in 99.9% Pure Silver and accented with 24K gold plating.  Superbly designed by renowned American Coin Designer, Joel Iskowitz, this limited edition coin commemorates the historic events that took place on December 7th, 1941.

         On that day of heart-breaking tragedy and towering heroism, the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was suddenly attacked by the Empire of Japan. It was truly a date, as President Franklin Roosevelt said, "that will live in infamy." It propelled our nation's entry into World War II, and galvanized our "Greatest Generation" to "Remember Pearl Harbor" and defend our freedom.

         "As we look back, we can see that Pearl Harbor is about more than a surprise attack. It also tells a story of American spirit and resilience in the face of tragedy," said Bradford Exchange Mint Director Rob Pomeroy.  "Much like the events of 9/11/2001, both military personnel and civilians alike risked their lives to save others. And as the "Greatest Generation" marches on, a legal tender coin is a great way to involve the next generations in remembering this milestone anniversary."

         Issued in a strictly limited edition, The 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor Silver Crown features:

·    Richly plated in 99.9% pure silver with a 24K gold plated accent, a One Crown face value, and the legend: Remember Pearl Harbor

·    Exclusive reverse design by Joel Iskowitz portrays President Franklin Roosevelt, U.S. ships under attack, and the infamous date.  A 75th Anniversary privy mark gleams with 24K gold plating.

·    Obverse showcases Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, marking it as official legal tender from the issuing authority, Tristan da Cunha, and honors our nations' special relationship in World War II

·    38.6 mm diameter coin, minted in Proof condition, is secured in a crystal-clear capsule
