2018 Silver World War I Centennial Coin and Air Service Medal Proof Set

The 2018 Silver World War I Centennial Coin and Air Service Medal Proof Set honors the centenary of American involvement in “The War to End All Wars” with a refined two-piece presentation. The set’s centerpiece is a one-ounce, .999 fine silver proof coin showcasing a dramatic battle-scene vignette on the reverse: U.S. Army Air Service biplanes soaring over the front lines, engines roaring as they support ground troops. The obverse features a contemporary Liberty portrait, rendered in deep cameo contrast that highlights frosted devices against mirror-like fields, demonstrating the U.S. Mint’s commitment to artistic excellence.

Paired with the silver coin is the specially struck Air Service Medal, cast in antiqued bronze and displaying a poised aviator standing before his aircraft—an evocative tribute to the young pilots of World War I. Both pieces are housed in the original government packaging (OGP), complete with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring their provenance and presentation. This proof set combines numismatic craftsmanship with historical homage, making it an essential addition for collectors of military memorabilia and modern proof coinage.
