Narrative

Round shaped, antique brass colored coin 1-1/2 inches in diameter.

Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska

This coin depicts a POL Unit at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The front side of the coin shows a snarling Kodiak bear which is a typical mascot of units in Alaska. The back side shows the back side of the same bear along with an irreverent GI comment about his military assignment.
