A member of PBA 147 (Somerville PD) created these challenge coins for the TTC, $2 from every coin will go directly to PBA 147.

The coin is a 2" coin, beautifully done. The front shows an eagle with a rifle in its talons, adorned with 13 stars and the words "2A Shall not be infringed" in script. The back has the TTC logo with the words "It's not just a privilege, it's a right". 

An absolutely beautiful coin for collectors or gun enthusiasts!
