The listing, Challenge coin has ended.
Up for bids is A Challenge Coin. Challenge Coins surfaced during the WWII era. The practice of carrying a coin designed specifically for a unit was popular with the Army Special Forces. Carrying the coin at all times and presenting it when "challenged" to prove affiliation with that unit resulted in a number of consequences for those who could not produce a coin -the most popular required the coinless soldier to buy a round of drinks. That practice continues to be popular today. BNIP and is approx. 2 inches wide. VERY NICE!!! No monetary value. Happy bidding!!
