3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) ODA 345 Green Beret Challenge Coin
⭐ KEY FEATURES
• ODA 345 team-specific identity within the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne)
• Detailed Special Forces imagery including crossed arrows, Master Parachutist Badge, Military Free Fall and combat diver imagery
• Team-specific ODA 345 challenge coins are seldom encountered on the collector market
📌 DESCRIPTION
This 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) ODA 345 challenge coin carries the identity of a specific Green Beret Operational Detachment Alpha rather than a broad Group-level design. The clearly marked ODA 345 designation gives the coin a direct team-level connection that is especially meaningful to collectors focused on Special Forces, Green Berets, and Operational Detachment Alpha memorabilia.
The obverse displays the banners “Desert Rats • Caribs • Bushmen” above the inscription “Hard Times Don’t Last, But Hard Men Do,” with “Excellence Through Professionalism” along the lower edge. Military Free Fall and combat diver imagery flank the central parachute figure, while the multicolor airborne crest provides the primary enamel accent against the antiqued brass-tone finish.
The reverse places ODA 345 prominently beneath the Special Forces banner, with a large 3, crossed arrows, the Master Parachutist Badge, and the Special Forces motto De Oppresso Liber. Together, the front and reverse create a highly specific team-level design with strong Green Beret identity and substantial visual detail on both sides.

🧭 CONDITION & PHOTO NOTES
This 3rd Special Forces Group ODA 345 coin retains strong raised lettering and relief, bright enamel on the airborne crest, an even antiqued brass-tone finish, and natural patina with scattered surface marks and light finish variation from prior handling visible in the photos. The ODA 345 designation, crossed arrows, badges, and surrounding inscriptions remain clear and highly displayable.
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.

💥 WHY THIS COIN STANDS OUT
