Historical Significance

The Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site commemorates the first African American military aviators in the U.S. Armed Forces. Trained at Moton Field in Alabama, the Tuskegee Airmen overcame racial barriers while serving with distinction during World War II. The coin’s reverse inscription, “THEY FOUGHT TWO WARS,” recognizes their battle against enemies abroad and discrimination at home.

Its status as the concluding release, combined with a collector mintage of just 19,819 pieces, has made it one of the most sought-after modern 5 oz silver issues.
