These powerful words have long been a part of the U.S. Navy tradition. From "A" school to their first assignment, and all the way through their Navy career, Sailors are motivated by a desire to earn the acknowledgement of their Commanding Officer for superior service and outstanding commitment. This distinctive coin provides Navy Commanders with the perfect opportunity to recognize those Sailors who consistently go above and beyond the call of duty. Boldly emblazoned on the obverse are the words: "Presented by the Commanding Officer." The reverse contains the official Navy seal rendered in remarkable detail. Minted in MerlinGold,® a proprietary brass alloy that simulates the look and feel of gold, this coin comes sealed in a protective Lucite capsule and packaged with a detailed header card that highlights the proud heritage of the U.S. Navy.
