Liberty Call Olongapo City Timeless Military Challenge Coin Error

Obverse

Depicted on the obverse/front are images both obvious and subtle, to remind a past generation of sailors the unique liberty adventures available only in Olongapo City. For those that were there, no explanation is necessary. Image of a girl standing in bikini beside a Jeepney, bottle of beer, Enamel yellow colored "Butterfly" "Liberty Call" "Olongapo City" "Westpac" "Subic Bay" "LB69FM" "Philipinas (wrong spelling)"

Reverse

Some artistic license was taken on the reverse/back, which depicts the bridge that all sailors crossed on their way to a memorable day of liberty, the infamous "Shit River," and street signs indicating their way “home.” Not only is this coin highly crafted and impossible to find anywhere else - it is nostalgic in every way. And while it makes a great souvenir, it is also a unique novelty item that can lead to some interesting discussions. "Naval Station" "Olongapo" "Subic Bay" "Magsaysay" "Shit River" "Dynasty" "Restaurant" "Beachcomber" "Hotel" "Marmonth"

Note

Designed for the WESTPAC Sailor-of-Old.

Remarks

Error in spelling Philipinas instead of Pilipinas or Filipinas
