| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief portrait of a New York City firefighter shown in full personal protective equipment, dominating the coin's field. The figure wears a gold-gilded FDNY helmet bearing the shield inscription FIREFIGHTER 343 FDNY, rendered in brilliant gold plating in striking contrast to the anthracite-finished body of the coin. The face is partially visible through a full-face self-contained breathing apparatus respirator mask, executed with exceptional sculptural precision. The hexagonal-patterned background field evokes industrial strength and structural resilience. The legend WE RUSH IN WHEN OTHERS RUSH OUT arcs along the left border, with the inscriptions FIREFIGHTER 343 FDNY and REAL HERO completing the commemorative tribute. |
