This remarkable coin consists of 5 ounces of fine silver and serves as a heartfelt tribute to the skilled workers whose efforts build and maintain the infrastructure vital to daily life.
Giving Back to the Skilled Trade Community
In a significant move to promote American work ethics, U.S. Money Reserve commits to donating the entire purchase price from the initial 250 coins sold and 20% from the subsequent 250 coins sold to Mike Rowe's mikeroweWORKS Foundation.

Artistry and Design of the Coin
The coin is meticulously designed, showcasing ultra-high relief art that captures intricate details.

Imagery on the Reverse Side
Flipping the coin reveals the powerful depiction of two tradespeople poised confidently in front of a vibrant skyline under construction.
