Other ideas welcome, maybe something from MDN, YesItsMe or anyone from the Sgt Slingsby Team could suggest something?

But it's an ARRSE chal coin, the proceeds are going to H4H, but it should stsill be ARRSE if you ask me.

I like the current design to be honest.

d'accord PA

I think you are right, maybe just Member of ARRSE or British Army or something similar, it defintiely needs something around the top...

Maybe even left Blank so people can add their own messages in there for instance if it is a present for someone or if they want their Arrse member name in there...

For the rear, either Hol4Heroes or leave it blank.
(Btw there is a lot of ARRSE on the front side, for those who think it wouldn't be an ARRSE thing with Hol4Heroes on it. ;) )

And if we can choose, I'd like to have #666. :D

What about a Latin inscription, you can fit so much more in. EG

'Telling it the Way it is' would be 'dico is via is est'

Who can come up with he best latin phrase?

Of course I would simply favour 'UBIQUE'

Okay, as a few are saying the top should be left blank then that's what we'll do, the only other changes are minor - 'The' will be taken out from 'The ARRSE Challenge Coin Rules" and the http:// will be removed from the ARRSE Website Address at the bottom...

After the Auction of the 1st 10, YesItsMe and anyone else who want a particular number, a few have mentioned their last 3 for example, then no probs you can add your preferred number here in the thread so YesItsMe you have officially booked yourself #666 you Devil You

Great idea

Count me in

MittMayo, Again you could always get what you want Engraved in that part of the Coin, maybe even have your Unit/Troop/Platoon etc. or a Course Name and Number and present it to anyone who passes.

If it goes up to 1774, I'd like to have that one.

Totus pro unus

Unus vacuus par.

Simple one 'Pro Patria'


Can I have #957 please?

Can I have 397 please.

As for personalization (that's how my spell checker wants to spell it - I'm not so sure, but I'm a spelling mong so what do I know) surely the edge of the coin could be engraved in the same way as medals are done.

Most engravers can do this - I've supplied and mounted several replacement medals and had them engraved at Timsons or wherever.

I thought the Declaration of Independence was 1776
