A military challenge coin.
“A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion (usually military), bearing an organization’s insignia or emblem and carried by the organization’s members. Traditionally, they are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. In addition, they are also collected by service members. In practice, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They are also exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization.”

I have one from my buddy. He’s Air Force. It’s an AMMO coin. Can’t remember what it stands for. Always keep it with me. My little brother, Navy, has a few Corpsman coins.
