The US Marine Corps has been America’s fighting force since 1775. One year older than the United States. Once reason for their incredible loyalty is why Devil Dog Shirts created the USMC Rank coins they do. The esprit de corps of the US Marine Corps and its warrior ethos has been the backbone of the Marines for an era. Because of the importance of the fighting force that makes up the US Marine Corps it was incredibly important to design a series of USMC Rank Coins Semper Fidelis that honor the history and traditions of the US Marines.
Each element of the USMC Rank coins shares a value, message, statement and iconic images that make each of these incredibly important coins so personally valuable.
Semper Fidelis 1883
The words Semper Fidelis, Latin for “Always Faithful” are crafted into each USMC rank coin we produce. At the heart of every US Marine is this ideal.
That Marines have lived up to this motto is proved by the fact that there has never been a mutiny, or even the thought of one, among U.S. Marines. Semper Fidelis was adopted about 1883 as the motto of the Corps.
USMC Rank Coins
From Private First Class to Colonel each of these US Marine ranks have been created to honor the Marine as well as their family and friends. Each rank coin has with it the level of detail only found at Devil Dog Shirts, a US Marine owned and operated small business.
The first side of these USMC rank coins features the Marine rank with crossed M4 black rifles with one an over and under grenade launcher. A Kbar is striking down into a skull of a terrorist or adversary. Around the circumference of the coin is an ammunition belt. At the top of each of these military rank coins is the text, USMC.
Side two has the United States Marine Corps Eagle Globe and Anchor the symbol of the US Marines and the words United States Marine Corps. Each of these coins are produced with antique silver and gold plated colors and hand painted enamel. Presented in a professional manner these are some of the most popular USMC challenge coins we have ever produced in over 15 years of coin production.
