Note
Robert Hudson has worked with artist and designer Mher Sayan of Orani, Bataan to create a beautiful “Challenge Coin”. Historically, these coins were used by people in the military to show their respect when meeting a fellow soldier. Each coin was designed to reflect something unique about the unit the soldier was in. These coins were treasured by the soldiers, along with the stories each coin told.
