September 11 Commemorative Silver Medal in Mint Packaging

2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.  To pay tribute to those who lost their lives and their families, and to raise funds for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum,  The United States Mint has issued a medal made from .9993 fine silver in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

Each one ounce silver medal has been struck to exacting Proof standards.  Proof coins are unlike regular U.S. coins, because they are struck at least twice on highly polished coin blanks to bring out the mirrored background and high-relief images.  The medal’s obverse features Lady Liberty holding the Lamp of Remembrance with beacons of light stretching skyward behind her.  Inscriptions, as required by the public law, are ALWAYS REMEMBER and 2001-2011.  The reverse design depicts an eagle, symbolizing the strength of the survivors, families and Nation, against a backdrop of cascading water. Inscriptions are HONOR and HOPE.  Each medal is shipped in original government packaging.
