• Delete - The coin's designer seems to have a prod tag on it at the moment, both seem to be advertisements and not notable. Smmurphy^(Talk) 04:06, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

• Delete: does not seem to meet the notability requirements. I'd note that such coins are relatively common within the military: I have several from each of the battalions or regiments I've served in. While they are often given out as a thank you for distinguished service of a minor kind, they are also often purchased by members through regimental trust funds and the like, so each one is relatively common. That said, there will be some very rare ones, which might be notable, but it would need strong sourcing to demonstrate the need for a stand alone article.
