Beretta has unveiled the Beretta 500-Year Anniversary Medal—dedicated to firearm and outdoor enthusiasts—as part of the company’s celebration of the craftsmanship, heritage and innovation it has delivered for the past five centuries. Qualifying customers who purchase one of the firm’s select new firearms will receive the commemorative medal as a gift, while supplies last.

The exclusive keepsake of Beretta’s 500th anniversary was designed in partnership with, and manufactured by, the Istituto Poligrafico and Zecca delle Stato/Italian State Mint. It honors the world’s oldest firearm manufacturer and its enduring “Made in Italy” heritage.

A statement issued by the Beretta family explains, “We are proud to be the ones celebrating this once-in-a-lifetime milestone, and we want everyone to be part of it. This is not just a celebration of our family and our people; it is a tribute to every hunter, shooter and outdoor lover who made Beretta what it is today, and to those who will make Beretta what it will be tomorrow. We want them to have the chance to keep a real memory of the Beretta 500-year anniversary.”
