Renowned and respected as ferocious fighters, Marines pursue America's enemies throughout the world with relentless resolve. Throughout America's history, these highly skilled warriors have always demonstrated larger-than-life courage in the discharge of their duties, responding to each and every challenge with a boundless determination to succeed. This die-struck coin bookmark salutes the courage and conviction of America's Marines - past and present - who have helped protect our nation's freedom. This unique item features two distinctive die-struck pieces attached to a crimson ribbon, suitably long enough for a standard paperback book, embossed with "United States Marine Corps Veteran" in gold lettering. Both pieces are made of brass and brushed with an antique finish. The 1 ¼ inch coin at one of the ribbon features the official Marine Corps globe, eagle, and anchor emblem and is accented with bright enamel. The reverse includes a space for engraving. The detailed rifle design at the opposite end features the Marine Corps core values on its reverse side.
