The World War I Centennial Commemorative series was authorized by Congress in 2014, serving to mark the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War I, and honors the 4.7 million men and women who served. The design of this coin was selected from a 2016 public competition directed by the U.S. Mint. The coin obverse has been titled
Soldier's Charge and the reverse aptly titled
Poppies in the Wire. As reported by the Army Times, World War I veterans have no national memorial in Washington, D.C.; thus the purchases of this coin are to help construct a flagpole and a 65-foot-long commemorative wall in their honor.
