About Vision Strike Coins
Sir Ernest Raymond Frost
Built on Service, Heritage, and the Tradition of Challenge Coin Collecting
Vision Strike Coins was founded on a simple belief: the stories of those who serve deserve to be remembered, honored, and preserved for future generations.
This company is dedicated to the memory and inspiration of my grandfather, Sir Ernest Raymond Frost, a decorated World War II veteran whose service, sacrifice, and lifelong passion for military history helped inspire the vision behind everything we do.
Sir Ernest Frost served as a Private First Class in the legendary 3rd Infantry Division, 7th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army during World War II. He fought throughout the European Theater, serving in Italy, France, and Germany during some of the most difficult campaigns of the war. As a scout and sniper, he endured the hardships of combat while helping liberate occupied Europe from tyranny.
His military service included participation in the Battle of the Bulge, one of the most significant engagements of World War II, as well as numerous campaigns across the European front. For his courage and sacrifice, he received multiple honors, including the Bronze Star, Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster, French Croix de Guerre with Palm, numerous campaign decorations and the French Legion of Honor.
In recognition of his role in the liberation and defense of France during World War II, Ernest Frost was formally honored by the French government and bestowed the title of “Sir” as a Defender of France, joining a distinguished group of Allied veterans whose sacrifices helped restore freedom to Europe.
A Passion for Military History and Coin Collecting
Beyond his military accomplishments, Sir Ernest Frost possessed a deep appreciation for military heritage, artifacts, and historical coin collecting. Throughout his life, he assembled an extensive collection of military memorabilia, commemorative coins, mint coins, and historical keepsakes that reflected his respect for those who served before him and alongside him.
His collection represented more than objects—it preserved stories.
Each coin, insignia, and artifact served as a tangible reminder of sacrifice, duty, courage, and the enduring bonds shared by military men and women. His passion for preserving history inspired the foundation upon which Vision Strike Coins was built.
