0.5 dollar – National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum

The United States Mint (Mint) Director David J. Ryder participated in a virtual design unveiling today for the 2021 National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum Commemorative Coin Program. The designs will be featured on a gold coin, a silver coin, and a half dollar as authorized by Public Law 116-94 (Division K). All obverse (heads) and reverse (tails) designs were created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designers and sculpted by United States Mint Medallic Artists. Mint Director Ryder, whose responsibilities include oversight of the United States Mint Police, one of the oldest Federal law enforcement agencies, said: “These designs will be featured on coins that honor the extraordinary service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers throughout the history of the United States. We hope this program will assist the Museum in its mission to bridge the past and the present and to increase public understanding and support for the law enforcement community.”
