All coins of this series weight 11.34g with 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.

The coin was as part of the commemorative coin program recognizing and celebrating the 225th anniversary of the US Marshals Service.

The obverse design of the coin features the image of a US Marshal and a horse from the Old West contrasted with a modern female Marshal wearing tactical gear.

The reverse contains a broad collection of objects symbolizing well known areas of responsibility in the history of the US Marshals Service. Lady Justice is depicted holding a scale in her left hand and the US Marshals Service Star in her right. In the field below is a copy of the United States Constitution, a stack of school books, handcuffs, and a whiskey jug. These objects represent the Marshals ties to the Constitution, the Whiskey Rebellion, slavery and the legacy of equality, and the struggle between labor and capital.

A total of 76,549 coins were minted in San Francisco. The issue price was U$18.95. The actual price is around U$165.00 in this grade.
