9th Infantry Regiment Manchu Dining In 2008 Challenge Coin Keep Up The Fire

⭐ KEY FEATURES

• 9th Infantry Regiment “Manchu” challenge coin commemorating the June 4, 2008 Manchu Dining In

• Displays the regiment’s distinctive imperial five-toed dragon, numeral 9, and “KEEP UP THE FIRE!” motto

• Oversized 3.12-inch format with blue enamel, raised bronze-tone relief, and a smooth blank reverse

📌 DESCRIPTION

Created for the 9th Infantry Regiment’s June 4, 2008 Manchu Dining In, this oversized challenge coin connects a specific formal unit event with the distinctive symbols and traditions of the historic “Manchu” Regiment. The dated event inscription gives this example a clear identity beyond a standard regimental coin.

The obverse prominently displays the regiment’s imperial five-toed dragon surrounding the raised numeral 9 and “KEEP UP THE FIRE!” motto. The dragon commemorates the regiment’s service during the 1900 China Relief Expedition, an important chapter in the lineage behind the Manchu identity. A vivid blue enamel field and yellow border frame the central raised design, while “MANCHU DINING IN” and “WED JUNE 4, 2008” identify the occasion.

The reverse is completely blank with a bronze-tone finish, creating a strong contrast with the detailed, colorful obverse. At approximately 3.12 inches across, the coin has substantial visual presence and clearly presents the event date, regimental symbolism, and Manchu identity.
