"Challenge coin" is a term that's new to me.

google it  grin

It refers to the commemorative coins military and other folks tote around that have a unit emblem or such-like on them.  In theory, if you are out and someone tosses one on the table you have to produce your own, the guy without has to buy the round.

A 1/8" thick coin of 1-1/2" diameter, most commonly bronze but available in precious metals as well.

1-1/4 x 1/8?  About like a four-bit piece.  If silver, about 0.4 oz.  Mas o menos...
