2nd Infantry Division Strike Force Desert Strike CSM Award Challenge Coin
β KEY FEATURES
β’ 2nd Brigade Strike Force, 2nd Infantry Division challenge coin
β’ Features Command Sergeant Major insignia, NCO rank progression, and unit heraldry
β’ Oversized dual-sided enamel coin with decorative edge treatment
π DESCRIPTION
This impressive Desert Strike Award for Excellence challenge coin is associated with the famed Strike Force formation of the U.S. Armyβs 2nd Infantry Division. Built in an oversized presentation format, the coin combines leadership symbolism, unit identity, and recognition themes into a display-focused piece with strong collector appeal.
The obverse features the Strike Force shield centered beneath the DESERT STRIKE title and surrounded by a progression of Non-Commissioned Officer rank insignia. The Award for Excellence inscription and Strike Force crest create a distinctive recognition-focused design that immediately stands out from more common unit coins.
The reverse is dominated by a large Command Sergeant Major rank insignia above the motto DEEDS NOT WORDS. Surrounding the center are multiple subordinate-unit crests and symbols representing military intelligence, signal, military police, air defense, aviation, armor, and other supporting elements associated with the command structure represented on the coin.
Recognized among collectors for its connection to the 2nd Infantry Division Strike Force identity, this coin offers strong display presence, leadership-focused symbolism, and broad appeal to Army, NCO, and command coin collectors.

π§ CONDITION & PHOTO NOTES
This is a pre-owned military challenge coin featuring glossy black enamel fields, bright gold-tone details, decorative sculpted edge work, crisp rank insignia, and light surface character from prior handling and display. The design remains well-defined with strong visual appeal and displays nicely in a collection, display case, shadow box, or desk presentation.
As with most pre-owned collectible challenge coins, light evidence of handling, display, storage, or age may be present. Please review all photos carefully, as they serve as the best representation of the coinβs actual condition and appearance.
πΈ Photos are taken under high-intensity lighting to highlight fine details and design elements. This lighting may reveal minor surface characteristics that are often less noticeable during normal display.
πͺ This listing is for one (1) challenge coin only.
β Any coin stands, display bases, rulers, calipers, or other photo props shown are for presentation and measurement purposes only and are not included with the purchase.
