Narrative

Pentagon shaped coin one point up, antique brass in color, 2 inches high X 2 inches wide.

SIDE 1 - Centered on the coin, a representation of the unit's shoulder patch insignia, the description which translates to - On a green nonagon, one point up, a yellow disk with embattled circumference bearing two crossed green partisans (a type of battle ax).

SYMBOLISM - Green and yellow are colors used for the Military Police Corps. The circular embattled central area indicates Prisoner of War Camps and military security facilities whose operations are commanded, planned, and supervised by the Brigade. The partisans are crossed to suggest control of the entrance and exit involved in the reception, search, and processing functions.
