This auction is for (1) LUCKY CIRCULATED QUARTER GOLF 1" BALL MARKER SOUVENIR CHALLENGE COIN COLLECTIBLE with the 250th ANIVERSARY & MASONIC 7/8" EPOXY DOMED LOGO on the reverse side (Has a nice feel to it) (may not be the one in photo) Like so many other aspects of military tradition, the origins of the challenge coin are a matter of much debate with little supporting evidence. While many organizations and services claim to have been the originators of the challenge coin, the most commonly held view is that the tradition began in the UNITED STATES ARMY SERVICE (a forerunner of the current UNITED STATES AIR FORCE). It became a tradition for all members to carry their coin at all times. To ensure compliance, the pilots would challenge each other to produce the coin.
