Rare Presidential Salute Battery The Old Guard Numbered #119 Challenge Coin For Sale

Rare Presidential Salute Battery The Old Guard Numbered #119 Challenge Coin

⭐ KEY FEATURES

• Presidential Salute Battery, 1st Battalion, 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, The Old Guard coin with an oversized Honor Guard-style die-cut profile

• Individually numbered #119, displaying XXI, U.S. Capitol and White House imagery, ceremonial artillery artwork, stopwatch symbolism, and the inscription “Guns Run Long”

• This specific oversized Presidential Salute Battery design is rarely encountered on the collector market, combining specialized unit identity with unusually elaborate construction

📌 DESCRIPTION

This Presidential Salute Battery challenge coin represents one of the most specialized ceremonial elements of The Old Guard, 1st Battalion, 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment. Based at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, the battery performs ceremonial gun salutes supporting presidential, state, military, and diplomatic events throughout the National Capital Region. This example takes that identity beyond a standard round coin with a massive approximately 3.5 x 4-inch custom die-cut profile and individually numbered #119 identifier.

The Honor Guard side incorporates crossed ceremonial rifles surrounding a central bayonet-style device beneath the prominent HONOR GUARD inscription. Black enamel fills contrast sharply against the polished silver-tone metal, allowing the rifle stocks, barrels, bayonet, lettering, and surrounding outlines to remain immediately recognizable across the unusually large profile.

The Presidential Salute Battery side carries the deeper unit-specific story. The U.S. Capitol appears above the PRESIDENTIAL SALUTE BATTERY inscription, while the White House anchors the lower design. Between them are XXI, ceremonial gun imagery with soldiers, the inscription “GUNS RUN LONG,” and a stopwatch beneath the numbered #119 panel. Together, these elements reflect the battery’s connection to the 21-gun salute, ceremonial artillery, presidential events, and the timing and precision required of its mission.

🧭 CONDITION & PHOTO NOTES

This oversized Presidential Salute Battery coin remains highly displayable with bold black enamel, well-defined silver-tone artwork, crisp Capitol and White House details, and light surface and edge marks from prior handling visible in the photos. The complex die-cut perimeter retains strong definition, while the individually numbered #119 panel and smaller inscriptions remain clearly readable.

The large format, extensive enamel work, detailed architectural imagery, artillery scene, and sharply outlined Honor Guard side give this piece substantial display presence from either face.

As with most pre-owned collectible challenge coins, light evidence of handling, display, storage, or age may be present. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and provide the best representation of the exact coin you will receive.

📸 Photos are taken under high-intensity lighting to highlight fine details, sculpting, and finish. This lighting may reveal minor surface characteristics that are often less noticeable during normal display.

🪙 This listing is for one (1) challenge coin only.

❗ Display stands, rulers, calipers, coin holders, and any other photo props shown are for presentation and measurement purposes only and are not included with the purchase.

💥 WHY THIS COIN STANDS OUT

• Highly specific Presidential Salute Battery / The Old Guard identity rather than a general Army or regiment coin
• Individually numbered #119 with extensive mission-specific symbolism on the reverse
• Unusual approximately 3.5 x 4-inch die-cut Honor Guard profile with strong black-and-silver visual contrast
• U.S. Capitol, White House, XXI, ceremonial gun crew and stopwatch imagery combine multiple elements of the battery’s ceremonial mission
