The American Veterans Disabled for Life coin was minted in 2010 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was the first coin produced by the United States Mint to feature a disabled veteran on its obverse (front side). The coin's design was created by artist Donna Weaver and features a portrait of a disabled veteran in a wheelchair, symbolizing the sacrifices made by veterans who have been injured in service to their country. The coin's reverse (back side) features an eagle and the inscription "Freedom is not free." The coin was produced in a limited quantity of 50,000 and was sold at a price of $55.95.
