250th Coin Series #6-Spanish American War

Celebrate the proud history of the United States Marine Corps with this exclusive 250th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Series--Coin 6 of 12.

1880-1900  

As the Marine Corps adopted “Semper Fidelis” as its motto in 1883, Marines began refining their service-defining character with the publication of the first amphibious landing manual: “The Naval Brigade and Operations Ashore.” Marines would then soon find themselves heavily involved in the Spanish-American War, fighting ashore on Puerto Rico, Cuba, and in the Philippines. The turn of the century then saw Marines fighting against a Filipino insurrection. 

250th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Series: Each coin highlights a pivotal era in the Corps’ rich heritage, honoring the valor, traditions, and legacy that have defined the Marines for centuries. Beautifully crafted, these coins are a must-have for collectors, veterans, and anyone inspired by the enduring spirit of the USMC.
