Reverse description The reverse presents a highly detailed high-relief rendition of the iconic flag-raising scene at Iwo Jima, closely modeled after the famous photograph by Joe Rosenthal and the associated Marine Corps War Memorial sculpture. Six United States Marines are depicted in dynamic, straining poses collectively hoisting an American flag atop a rocky outcropping, rendered with exceptional sculptural depth. The deeply mirrored proof field contrasts sharply with the finely detailed figures. The legend 'BATTLE OF IWO JIMA' arcs across the upper border in bold capital letters, with the Roman numeral date 'MMXXIV' inscribed to the left of center in the mid-field.
