The United States Mint last week revealed the obverse (heads) and reverse (tails) designs for five silver medals that will be issued in conjunction with the 2018 World War I Centennial Silver Dollar. Each medal, composed of 90 percent silver, pays homage to branches of the U.S. Armed Forces that were active in World War I.
The reverse features the branch’s seal. The head shows a scene from the Great War specific to the branch.
Army clearing no man’s land, note the M1903, though the M1917 Enfield would likely be more fitting
Navy four-piper destroyer with a bone in her teeth
Marines at Belleau Wood
(Army) Air Force Spad XIII (though I think the JN-4 Jenny would be more appropriate).

Each silver medal will be paired with a World War I Centennial Silver Dollar and offered as a special set. These medals will not be available individually.
