The Cavalry Team Challenge Coin

There’s a direct line from the trooper raising his saber on horseback to the tank commander standing in his hatch.

Same instinct. Same role. Same willingness to be the first into the breach and the last to leave the field.

The Sentinel LaserArt Charge of the Ages Challenge Coin captures that lineage in a single, seamless scene. On the left, a cavalry officer in campaign hat drives forward on horseback, saber raised, troopers following close behind — smoke filling the field, the charge already committed. On the right, an M1 Abrams pushes through the same smoke, same direction, same purpose. The two images don’t contrast each other. They complete each other.

No text. No label. No explanation required. Anyone who has served in armor or cavalry will know exactly what this coin means the moment they pick it up.

For the trooper who understands that the branch didn’t change when the horse did — it just got faster.

Long before engines shook the battlefield, cavalrymen shaped wars through speed, audacity, and relentless maneuver. While the horse eventually gave way to armor and turbines, the mission never changed.

The Cavalry Team challenge coin celebrates the enduring heritage of mounted warfare and the Soldiers who have carried that tradition across centuries of conflict.

The obverse captures the evolution of the Cavalry in a single dramatic composition. Horse-mounted troopers charge alongside modern M1 Abrams tanks and armored reconnaissance vehicles while an AH-64 Apache dominates the skies above. Rather than depicting separate eras, the artwork symbolizes a single fighting spirit passed from one generation to the next. Beneath the scene, the inscription Force in Motion reflects the essence of mounted operations—mobility, aggression, and decisive action.

The reverse reaches even deeper into Cavalry history with a depiction of a mounted medieval knight beneath the title Mounted Warfare. The timeless principles of Speed • Shock • Control remind us that while equipment evolves, the fundamentals of mounted combat remain unchanged. Whether charging with lance and saber or maneuvering armored formations across the modern battlefield, mounted forces have always relied on initiative, momentum, and disciplined violence of action.

Expertly crafted in 50 mm antique brass, every detail is sculpted in deep three-dimensional relief to create a coin worthy of display alongside military awards and treasured keepsakes. Rich textures, dramatic battlefield scenes, and precision engraving give this piece the appearance and feel of a traditional military challenge coin built to endure for generations.

Part of Sentinel LaserArt’s exclusive Steel & Thunder Collection, The Cavalry Team is designed for active-duty Soldiers, veterans, retirees, historians, and collectors who understand that Cavalry is more than a branch designation—it is a mindset built upon reconnaissance, security, maneuver, and the relentless pursuit of the enemy.

Whether displayed in an office, presented as a retirement gift, awarded to a fellow trooper, or carried as a reminder of shared service, this coin honors every Soldier who has answered the call to ride forward.

Because horses became tanks.

Sabers became main guns.

But the Cavalry spirit never changed.
