Battle of Iwo Jima Challenge Coin

Honor Valor. Celebrate Sacrifice. Preserve Marine Corps Legacy.

This Battle of Iwo Jima Challenge Coin is a premium collectible inspired by the heroic Marines who fought in one of the most intense and significant battles of World War II. Featuring the iconic flag-raising atop Mount Suribachi and the official Marine Corps emblem, this coin embodies the core values of Courage, Sacrifice, and Uncommon Valor that define the United States Marine Corps.

The Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945 was one of the most grueling and costly campaigns of the Pacific War, with over 26,000 American casualties. 22 U.S. Marines and 5 U.S. Navy corpsmen earned the Medal of Honor for their actions—representing 28% of all Medals of Honor awarded to Marines during World War II. The flag-raising photograph, taken by Joe Rosenthal on February 23, 1945, has become one of the most significant and recognizable images of World War II. This coin honors their service—from the beach landings to the summit of Mount Suribachi.
