Black Helmet Troid Tine- Brotherhood Before All Irish Challenge Coin -New + Case

Braithre Thar Gach Ni...... Brotherhood Before All. Makes for a perfect challenge. Its a full

size 1 3/4 inch coin in a protective round case with great detail.Here is my favorite version of the history of the Challenge Coin. In WWI a particular Allied squadron all wore the same bronze medallion. Some pilots just carried it in their pockets like coins. One of them was shot down behind enemy lines and captured. He later escaped and was captured by his own allied forces. With no identification, he was going to be executed as a saboteur, but one of the officers recognized his medallion. Since it saved his life, the squadron decided they should have their medallions or coins on them at all times. To enforce this, if someone issued a challenge to see your coin/medallion and you could not produce it, you had to buy them a drink. If you did have your coin, they had to buy you a drink.
