✅ SOLVED Engineer Battalion Challenge Coin

[Natman]

Hi all, Dug this yesterday but don't really know what it is, or what kind of metal it is. It came out of the ground with no corrosion or tarnish. It's about the size of a silver dollar. Any help appreciated.

Here's one from the same unit with the same images but different wording. Challenge coins change on a regular basis, due to many reasons, some being a deployment, or involvement in a specific exercise, etc.

As you surmised, it's a challenge coin.

I search "Over All Obstacles" + "challenge coin" and saw a few similar - mostly listed on Worthpoint. No values given...

I believe they are often made from a zinc alloy
