Thank you for the upvote.

There were 9 Five Star Generals in the US Military, George Washington is 6 stars and will forever be the senior and is General of the Armies, and Omar Bradley was the last one. So there are 5 coins in this series? This is my first look of this coin, and it is wonderful that the US Mint found it fitting to honor these heroes. Thank you for showing this coin.

There are three different coins. The Half Dollar above, The Silver Dollar that depicts Eisenhower and Marshall and the gold $5 that depicts Mac Arthur.

The crest design on the back is pretty cool @ronaldoavelino! It maybe mainly copper, but it is still an interesting piece for the stack.

It is a very beautiful and clean design on the reverse. I like it.
