So I found this coin in my room. Friend said it's a challenge coin. I've looked all over the internet for a picture of the one I found. And there's nothing. On the front it says "United States Marine Corps. Parris Island, SC. First recruit training battalion" on the back it says. "Dirty Delta Ductus Exemplo" anything you can tell me about this would be great.

Dirty Delta Ductus Exemplo.... well, ductus exemplo means "lead by example", the "dirty Delta " is fairly obvious. I found one connection linking it with drill instructors, possibly it is a recognition 'medal' for someone who succesfully completed a training course with DELTA? Your absolute best bet would be to take it along to an army recruiting office and ask about it there, they usually have an old warhorse or two who would probably recognize it or have seen one before.
