Darum ein Schriftzug: 21st THEATER ARMY AREA COMMAND; FIRST IN SUPPORT..Rückseite: In der Mitte der Münze ist eine rote Flagge mit einem weißen Stern abgebildet, symbolisch für einen Ein-Sterne-General. Darum ein Schriftzug: PRESENTED FOR EXCELLENCE BY THE DEPUTY COMMANDING GENERAL..Es handelt sich um die Challenging Coin des stellvertretenden Kommandeurs der 21st TAACOM...History of Challenge Coins:..Challenge Coins surfaced during the World War II 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 resultated in a number of consequneces 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." (Quelle: Symbol Arts; www.symbolarts.com)
