MCRD San Diego Challenge Coin

At the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot in San Diego, recruits  earn the right to be called a Marine through a rigorous process lasting 12 weeks, culminating in a test of mental and physical endurance known as The Crucible. Commemorate the making of a Marine with this unique gift!

This 3″ odd-shaped antique brass challenge coin features the California State flag above a 3D Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and the words “MCRD San Diego – Making Marines since 1956”, set against a transparent red starbust background. The reverse side contains 3D images of a log drill and an obstacle course, each flanking the USMC Devil Dog Mascot.
