With a total length of 295 feet and carrying an amazing 21,350 square feet of sail, the Coast Guard Cutter Eagle is regarded as one of the finest ships ever built.
As the primary training vessel for Coast Guard Cadets, the Eagle plays a vital role in enabling America's premier maritime security and coastal defense force to achieve its vital mission.
This coin honors the legendary Eagle and commemorates the proud tradition of the U.S. Coast Guard. The obverse features this majestic sailing ship in exquisite and accurate detail. The reverse contains the seal of the United States Coast Guard.
