5th Special Forces Group 2nd Battalion Commander CSM Blacksmith Excellence Coin
β KEY FEATURES
β’ 2nd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) command recognition challenge coin
β’ Features Blacksmith 6 Battalion Commander and Blacksmith 7 Command Sergeant Major identifiers
β’ Heavy shield-shaped presentation build with antiqued finish and enamel details
π DESCRIPTION
This premium 2nd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) command-team challenge coin was created to recognize excellence within one of the U.S. Army Special Forces Regimentβs most respected operational battalions. Featuring the battalion command teamβs Blacksmith 6 and Blacksmith 7 identifiers, this presentation-format piece immediately stands apart from the more commonly encountered Special Forces challenge coins seen on the secondary market.
The obverse features the Special Forces crossed arrows branch insignia with the battalion identifiers 2 and 5, representing 2nd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne). Beneath the arrows are the command-team symbols for Blacksmith 6 and Blacksmith 7, the operational call signs traditionally associated with the Battalion Commander and Command Sergeant Major. The inscription One Team, One Fight reinforces the leadership philosophy and team-focused culture within the organization.
The reverse showcases the iconic Special Forces crest featuring the legendary V-42 stiletto, crossed arrows, and the famous De Oppresso Liber motto. Set against a deep black enamel shield and surrounded by a substantial brushed-metal border, the design delivers a clean, professional appearance that commands attention in any collection.
For Special Forces collectors, battalion-level command coins are among the most sought-after presentation formats because they combine recognizable Green Beret symbolism with a direct connection to a specific operational unit and leadership team. The oversized shield format, command-team focus, and excellence-recognition theme give this piece advanced collector appeal and strong shelf presence.
