Our Cold War coin side features the detailed American Bald Eagle with colorful red white and blue USA flag behind it while opposite with the Russian Bear and the Soviet Union flag with its Hammer, Sickle and red star. These competing Cold War Nations with the USA and its NATO allies and Soviet Russia with its Warsaw Pact is the force behind the production of each of these Cold War Combatants Challenge Coins.
