| COINS AND MEDALLIONS
Military Challenge coins are also known as military coins, unit coins, memorial coins, commander's coins or medallions. The coin represents affiliation, support or patronage to the organization minted on the coin. GLOBAL MILITARY SALES is proud to be respected for providing these treasured coins.
These coins are usually given in recognition of exemplary actions of military personnel. They are also used to improve morale and foster unit espirit. Today they are often used to signify an event, "IRAQI FREEDOM", as an example.
*Coins differ from medallions in the directional placement of art on the reverse side. A coin has the reverse side art oriented 180 degrees from the obverse (front) of the coin. Medallion art is placed in the same direction on both sides.
*Coins are used by organizations, sporting teams and sometimes as a fund raiser.
*Growing in popularity are .999 fine silvers added to an order of brass or bronze coins. Many of our customers have ordered a silver coin, held a raffle for it and in this way have paid for the cost of their coins.
