This is a 2 inch gold plated, stamped brass coin with exquisite detail and coloring. It is quite heavy. On one face there is the USS New York’s ships crest surrounded by its mottos “STRENGTH FORGED THROUGH SACRIFICE” and “NEVER FORGET”. On the other face there is the outline of New York with the words spoken at theIntrepid Museumin 2002 by then Governor George Patacki.

“ON SEPTEMBER11, 2001 OUR NATIONS ENEMIES BROUGHT THE FIGHT TO NEW YORK…. THE USS NEW YORK WILL NOW BRING THE FIGHT TO OUR NATIONS ENEMIES WELL INTO THE FUTURE”

This ship has no equal in United States history,her arrival in New York Harbor on November 2, of 2009 for her Commissioning into the United States Navy on November 7, 2009 will be a defining moment in our lives, what we lost returns, she will never fill the hole, but she will fill our hearts. When we designed this coin, we spared no expense. We wanted a one of a kind, top of the line coin that would be a treasured possession to whomever gets one. Get your piece of history!

Please note that this is ONE COIN, the picture shows both faces of the coin.
