Comment
A maximum authorized mintage of 1,000,000 was established for the Korean War Silver Dollar. The uncirculated version of the coin was produced at the Denver Mint and the proof version at the Philadelphia Mint. Final sales came short of achieving a sell out, but did reach more than 80% of the maximum. Surcharges raised from the commemorative program went towards the construction of the Korean War Veterans Memorial.1991-D Uncirculated Korean War Memorial Silver Dollar

Interesting fact
The 1991 Korean War Memorial Silver Dollar was minted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. It has a unique design, featuring a soldier standing guard at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was produced in a limited quantity of 30,000 and was only available for purchase during a 6-month period in 1991. Due to its limited mintage and short availability, it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and military history enthusiasts.
