3rd Infantry Division 2nd BCT OIF III 2005 Spartan Challenge Coin Iraq

⭐ KEY FEATURES

• 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division OIF III deployment coin dated 2005, featuring the Spartan Brigade identity and SEND ME motto

• Large 2.51-inch format with an Iraq-map centerpiece, 3rd Infantry Division striping, and multiple unit and brigade-support insignia tied to the 2005 deployment structure

• Reverse displays a prominent Spartan helmet, 2nd BCT / 3ID device, 2005, and OIF III in deep raised relief

📌 DESCRIPTION

This 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division challenge coin captures the Spartan Brigade during its Operation Iraqi Freedom III deployment in 2005, combining brigade identity, Iraq deployment imagery, and a broad cross-section of unit heraldry into one oversized design. Rather than focusing on a single commander or battalion, the coin presents the wider brigade story, making it especially relevant to collectors of 3rd Infantry Division, OIF, and Spartan Brigade material.

The obverse is anchored by the familiar blue-and-white diagonal striping associated with the 3rd Infantry Division, overlaid with a map of Iraq and a large numeral 2 representing the brigade. Surrounding the center are multiple crests and devices associated with the brigade’s combat, support, engineer, and divisional heritage, including Garry Owen, CAN DO, WE PIERCE, WE FIGHT AS ONE, Victory Through Mobility, the 10th Engineer heritage shield, and the 3rd Infantry Division’s Nous Resterons Là symbolism. Together, these details give the front unusually strong historical depth for a deployment coin.

The reverse shifts to the brigade’s Spartan identity with a large sculpted Spartan helmet, a 2nd BCT / 3ID inset, and the inscriptions SEND ME, 2005, and OIF III. The combination of mission-specific dating, brigade symbolism, and multi-unit heraldry makes this a particularly strong representation of the Spartan Brigade’s 2005 Iraq deployment.

🧭 CONDITION & PHOTO NOTES

This oversized 2nd BCT, 3rd Infantry Division OIF III coin retains strong raised detail, bright multi-color enamel, clear lettering, and an even antiqued gold-tone finish, with visible light surface scratches across the central enamel areas, scattered handling marks, and light edge and high-point wear from prior ownership. The Spartan helmet, Iraq map, unit crests, and reverse lettering remain well defined and highly displayable.

As with most pre-owned collectible challenge coins, light evidence of handling, display, storage, or age may be present. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and provide the best representation of the exact coin you will receive.
