Bowling Green ROTC Challenge Coin
This is the Bowling Green State University ROTC Challenge Coin. They are the Fighting Falcon Cadet Battalion. The program at BGSU started as an Artillery Reserve Officers Training Corps - that is, they only produced artillery officers. Many of the first class were WWII veterans.
The front of the coin reads "BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY / BOWLING GREEN, OH est. 1948". In the center of a coin a shield is depicted with a black flying falcon carrying a red torch. A scroll is below with "B" and "G" on either side, and the number 82 is stamped below that - presumably the number of the coin in the minted set.
On the back of the coin is written "PRESENTED BY THE COMMAND TEAM / MILITARY SCIENCE AND LEADERSHIP". The Lt. Colonel silver oak leaf insignia and the Master Sergeant stripe share center stage.
