Known as the Devil’s Brigade, the First Special Service Force was an elite group of American and Canadian commandos formed in 1942 after the American entrance into World War II. The members of the Devil’s Brigade trained at Fort William Henry Harrison outside of Helena, Montana and served under the command of the United States Fifth Army.

On the reverse of the 1/10 oz First Special Service Force Gold Coin is the emblem of the Devil’s Brigade. Originally, the design is a red spearhead with the names of the two nations emblazoned upon it. On this side of the coin you’ll find the spearhead in gold with “USA” vertically at the top and “Canada” horizontally down the center of the spearhead.

The other design elements on this side of the coin have varied by year in the 1/10 oz First Special Service Force Gold Coin. The spearhead is flanked by a US Army star on the left and the maple leaf of the Royal Canadian forces on the right.

For the obverse side of the First Special Service Force Gold Coin, the Royal Canadian Mint features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy here is the fourth-generation design from Susanna Blunt.

These coins are a product of the Royal Canadian Mint. Founded in 1908, it is the official sovereign mint of Canada and operates facilities in the cities of Ottawa and Winnipeg.
