380 ESVS Releases a Rare Challenge Coin
- Filed under: Coin Releases
- Date: Oct 4,2008
The deployed Services Sq in Al Dafhra, UAE released an awesome and rare kind of coin in 2007 that is almost unknown to the collecting world. It commemorates the AEF cycle that the Sq served with a humor that many coins miss opportunities to include. This 1.75” antique nickel finished coin captured their memories of serving those that are taking a load off from the fight while the Services Airman work to bring morale up.
The obvious moniker on this challenge coin is the 3D hand giving the middle finger. The tag line is short and sweet with “You Work, We Work…You Play, We Work Harder” as the final words of this mint. This mint was a 100 piece to the best of our knowledge with almost none circulated in the collecting hobby. If you a collector looking for a hard to find coin then this is one to look at. It will not only spruce up the coin rack but also give you something you can show off.
When we look at coins we need something that seperates them from others we have in our collection. This is why we want to spot light this particular coin and show that not all coins come with just a symbol and some standard wording. There are many special coins that really stand above the rest and this is one of them.
