The 1 oz United States Navy Blue Angels Silver Round is struck in .999 fine silver, honoring the U.S. Navy's world-renowned flight demonstration squadron, a team that has performed precision aerial demonstrations since June 15, 1946, and today flies Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets at more than 60 air shows annually. The obverse displays the Blue Angels emblem with F/A-18 silhouettes in delta formation and the Naval Air Training Command insignia. The reverse depicts four Super Hornets breaking formation with smoke trails. Each round arrives in a protective plastic flip and qualifies for Precious Metals IRA inclusion.
Obverse
The obverse displays the Blue Angels emblem divided diagonally. The upper-right shows four F/A-18 Super Hornet silhouettes in tight delta formation against a cloud-filled sky; the lower-left displays the Naval Air Training Command insignia with the Navy's eagle-and-anchor logo and an aircraft carrier silhouette.
Reverse
The reverse depicts four Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets mid-maneuver, breaking formation with distinct white smoke trails, the signature visual of a Blue Angels airshow finale.
The United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, was established April 24, 1946, by order of Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Chester Nimitz.
The mission was threefold: generate public support for naval aviation, boost Navy morale in the postwar drawdown, and demonstrate carrier-based aircraft capability at a moment when defense budgets were shrinking. Admiral Ralph Davison selected Lieutenant Commander Roy "Butch" Voris, a decorated World War II fighter ace, to assemble and lead the new team. The first public demonstration took place June 15, 1946, at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, flying Grumman F6F-5 Hellcats, the same carrier fighter that had dominated Pacific air combat just months before. The team adopted the name "Blue Angels" in July 1946, inspired by an advertisement for The Blue Angel nightclub in New York City spotted in The New Yorker. Over eight decades, the Blue Angels have flown eleven distinct aircraft types, a progression that mirrors the arc of American military aviation itself.
The propeller-driven F6F Hellcat and F8F Bearcat gave way to early jets in the 1950s: the F9F Panther, F9F Cougar, and F-11 Tiger. The F-4 Phantom introduced two-seat formation flying in the late 1960s; the more agile A-4 Skyhawk followed in 1974. In 1986, the team transitioned to the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet for their 40th anniversary, flying it for thirty-five years, the longest tenure of any aircraft in Blue Angels history. In 2021, on their 75th anniversary, they upgraded to the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the aircraft depicted on this silver round. Today, the team includes six Navy and one Marine Corps pilot, performing sixty-plus shows at thirty-two-plus U.S. locations annually, making the Blue Angels the second-oldest formal aerobatic team in the world, behind only France's Patrouille de France, founded in 1931.
