This specific piece is a special military appreciation limited edition challenge coin issued directly by the U. Navy in collaboration with the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was first released on Veterans Day weekend in November 2021 during a series of special naval heritage presentation to honor the dual legacy of “challenging the status quo, ” highlighting Jackie Robinson breaking the Major League Baseball color barrier and John Henry Turpin becoming one of the first African American Chief Petty Officers in the Navy. Because these were custom-minted for private military presentations and select community relations events rather than standard retail distribution, they are highly sought after by collectors of both military challenge coins and Dodgers memorabilia.
