Spearheading covert and clandestine operations throughout the world, the members of America's "Black Ops" teams are an essential element of U.S. Military strategy.

Conducting deep cover missions in defense of freedom, these elite warriors exploit the element of surprise to maximum effect, executing their orders with unmatched precision and proficiency. Specializing in unconventioanl warfare, combat search and rescue, reconnaissance, and counter-insurgency campaigns, they are experts at getting the job done quickly and quietly, vanishing without a trace when their work is complete.

This coin salutes the courage and skill of America's most elusive warriors as they continue to fight in the shadows to advance the cause of liberty and justice around the world.

Against a pitchblack backdrop, the obverse features the words "Black Ops" minted in bolded characters. The reverse contains the phrase: "I wasn't here." Minted in a brass alloy, this coin is imbued with ebony enamel on both sides.
