| Reverse description | The reverse features the Coast Guard's iconic racing stripe rendered in heraldic hatching — diagonal and vertical line patterns indicating color — sweeping across a life preserver ring whose rope-textured border bears the legend of the service's core values. At center, the circular United States Coast Guard emblem with crossed anchors, shield, and the founding date 1790 is depicted in relief. Designers' initials TRH and RG appear at lower left and right. |
