Struck in honor of the 225th anniversary of the United States Marshals Service, the oldest federal law enforcement agency in the nation, the 2015-P BU Silver Dollar celebrates the history, sacrifice, and duty of the Marshals since their founding in 1789. Minted in Philadelphia, the Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) version features a crisp, satin-like finish with strong relief that highlights the coin's symbolic design elements.

This commemorative recognizes not just their origin, but their continued legacy.
