2025 5 oz Grant Silver Coin - Commander Series

The Commander Series from Scottsdale Mint showcases exceptional artistry and craftsmanship, featuring gold and silver coins of different sizes.

The series aims to honor legendary historical figures who played pivotal roles as leaders throughout history. Previous releases included Napoleon Bonaparte, General Patton, Hernán Cortés, and Emperor Julius Caesar. Now, the series proudly presents its latest addition: Ulysses S. Grant.

Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th president of the United States and Commanding General of the U.S. Army during the Civil War. Born in Ohio in 1822, he graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1843 and served with distinction during the Mexican-American War. He resigned in 1854 before rejoining the Union Army at the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. 

During the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant emerged as one of the Union’s most effective and decisive generals. He first gained national recognition with early victories at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in 1862, earning him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant. His leadership at the Battle of Shiloh demonstrated his resilience despite heavy casualties, and his successful siege of Vicksburg in 1863 was a turning point in the war, giving the Union control of the Mississippi River. In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln appointed Grant as the commander of all Union armies, where he implemented a relentless strategy of total warfare, engaging Confederate forces in continuous battles that depleted their resources. His Overland Campaign, though costly, forced General Robert E. Lee into a war of attrition, ultimately leading to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House in April 1865. Grant’s aggressive and strategic approach helped bring about the Union’s victory and cemented his reputation as a brilliant military leader.

Following the war, Grant’s popularity propelled him to the presidency in 1868. As president, he focused on Reconstruction and worked to modernize the economy and improve infrastructure. His presidency marked a crucial period in American history, as he sought to navigate the complexities of post-war reconstruction and political turmoil. After leaving office in 1877, he traveled the world and later wrote his memoirs, which became a literary and financial success. He died in 1885, leaving behind a legacy as a determined military leader and a president who sought unity in a divided nation.
