Introducing the MCRD San Diego Challenge Coin – a stunning tribute to the United States Marine Corps’ legacy of excellence and the rich history of Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. This high-quality challenge coin features breathtaking designs on both sides that pay homage to the Marine Corps’ storied traditions.

One side of the coin showcases the iconic “United States Marines” text alongside the legendary Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem. This side is a powerful symbol of the Marine Corps’ unwavering commitment to honor, courage, and commitment. It’s a testament to the values that have made the Marine Corps one of the most respected military institutions in the world.

The other side of the coin features two iconic phrases – “Hollywood Marine” and “MCRD San Diego” – that have become synonymous with the base’s rich history. The Hollywood Marine nickname originated during World War II when many Marine Corps recruits were sent to Camp Pendleton near Hollywood for additional training. MCRD San Diego is now the largest Marine Corps recruit depot in the United States and has trained thousands of Marines over the years.
