U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division Challenge Coin

The 2nd Infantry Division patch features a five pointed white star whose points lie in the circumference of an imaginary circle. Inside the star is an Indian’s head with war bonnet in profile, face red, bonnet blue with outline of feathers in blue. The star is superimposed upon a black shield. The star has played an important part in our history from the days of the Colonies to the present time and the Indian signifies the first and original American, devices originally established by the division to use as vehicle markings, identifying the vehicles as all-American. The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally authorized for the 2d Division on 6 November 1918 and officially announced by The Adjutant General letter dated 21 June 1922. It was amended to correct the description on 7 November 1927. The insignia was designated for the 2d Infantry Division effective 1 August 1942, and amended to change the dimensions. This challenge coin has a shiny brass finish, and is imbued with durable and attractive enamel. The reverse features the Army emblem in colorful enamel.
