This is the first coin that we have produced, solely as a
gift.
This coin is not, and never will be,
for sale (private or public).
On the reverse side of the coin we
have inscribed the New York finest logo (the NYPD), on the
front of the coin is the Captains profile. We produced a one-off
special coin for the captain in Stirling silver 925 which
was presented, privately to him. Coins for the crew, members
of the NYPD and the passengers, will be either silver plate
or gilding metal and will be presented in the near future.
Many people have asked, why have we
done this? Marketing? Self-promotion? Neither.
We produced this coin as we feel that
even though a man was doing his job... a job he did very well,
it never hurts to say 'thanks'. It's people, like Captain
Sullenberger, who exemplify what every person is capable of.
And, at that moment, stands up and takes pride in their work
- not for themselves - for others.
