2015 Denver Mint (D) United States U.S. Marshals Service 225th Anniversary Clad Half Dollar (1/2$) Uncirculated (BU) Commemorative Coin in Original Government Packaging (OGP)
The U.S. Marshals Service 225th Anniversary 2015 UNC Clad Half-Dollar coin celebrates the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Marshals Service and honors those Marshals who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
The clad half-dollar’s theme shows how the U.S. Marshals Service is woven into the fabric of American history. It depicts contrasting images of the Old West and modern day Deputy U.S. Marshals, showing the dramatic change from Western wear to tactical equipment.
The United States Marshals Service is the nation’s oldest federal law enforcement agency, having served our nation since 1789. Ensuring liberty and justice for our infant nation, the U.S. Marshals Service was formed when President George Washington signed the Judiciary Act into law in 1789. With a history woven around our Constitution, the U.S. Marshals Service continues, 225 years later, with the same principles of justice, integrity and service.
