The 2024 Chad 2 oz Silver .45 Caliber Pistol Handgun Black & Gold Shaped Coin is a tribute to one of the most iconic firearms in history, the .45 caliber pistol, renowned for its reliability and powerful performance. The .45 caliber has been a preferred sidearm for military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters alike, due to its effectiveness in close combat situations. Its most famous variant, the M1911, designed by John Browning, was officially adopted by the US Army in 1911 and continued to serve as the standard-issue sidearm until 1985, seeing action in both World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

The detailed replication of the pistol in this coin, enhanced by the striking contrast of black and gold, makes it a standout collectible for enthusiasts of military history, firearms, and numismatics
