Description
Finely struck 1 1/2" bronze finish/enamel coin for GIGN Challenge Coin - French SWAT. "The National Gendarmerie Intervention Group, commonly abbreviated GIGN (French: Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale), is the French Gendarmerie's elite Special Operations counter-terrorism and hostage rescue unit; it is part of the military force called the Gendarmerie. Even if its members belong to the military, they are now charged with police duties outside urbanised areas. As such GIGN units are closer to enhanced SWAT teams than to pure military units such as the British Army SAS. Its operators are trained to follow police regulations and include negotiation and investigation specialists." - Wikipedia
