      The Silver Dollar Salute

      Commissioned Officers in the United States Navy are responsible for the effective and efficient management of personnel, ships, aircraft, and weapons systems. The Commissioning Ceremony is the formal event marking the transition from trainee, cadet, or Midshipman to Commissioned Officer in the United States military. There is one time-honored tradition each new officer looks forward to with great planning and anticipation, the Silver Dollar Salute.

      It was customary for new officers to be assigned a knowledgeable advisor from the enlisted ranks. In gratitude for the valuable assistance the enlisted service member had given, he was rewarded with a portion of the newly commissioned officer’s pay, which at the time amounted to $1 a month. A dollar coin is used to pay tribute to this historic custom. Given the significance of the event for both parties, great consideration is put into the particular silver dollar coin selected. Commemorative coins are commercially minted specifically for the purpose of the first salute, but many adhere to the tradition of using U.S. currency.
      • Miles Standish signed
      • Only 275 exist!
      • Director's Medal of Excellence label
      • Last of the Heraldic Eagle design!

      With a low limited mintage and reduced production capacity due to the pandemic, 2021 was an immediate sellout - but you can add it to your collection today!
