From the depths of the word's oceans to the skies above them, the United States Navy has faithfully protected America from its enemies. For more than 200 years, the Navy and its outstanding team of warriors has excelled in winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas. This die-struck coin bookmark salutes the courage and skill of Navy veterans, whose tireless pursuit of victory has ensured America's security. This item features two distinctive die-struck pieces attached to a Navy blue ribbon, suitably long enough for a standard paperback book, embossed with "United States Navy 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 traditional Navy emblem and is accented with bright enamel. The reverse includes a space for engraving. The detailed fouled anchor design featured at the opposite end calls to mind the Navy's centuries-old tradition of maritime excellence.
