| Obverse description | High-relief depiction of a U.S. Coast Guard rescue scene based on Anton Otto Fischer's painting 'To the Rescue', showing a surfboat crewed by guardsmen rowing through heavy seas toward a distressed vessel in the background. The legend 'GUARDIANS OF THE SEA' arcs along the upper field on a banner in relief, while '200 YEARS OF SERVICE' curves along the lower field. Designer initials 'BJG' and 'AOF' appear in the lower left and lower right of the field respectively. |
