542nd Medical Company Air Ambulance Korea DMZ DUSTOFF UH-60 Challenge Coin
⭐ KEY FEATURES
• 542nd Medical Company (Air Ambulance) challenge coin representing its Korea DMZ-era DUSTOFF mission
• Personalized SSG MANN engraving paired with UH-60 Black Hawk imagery and Korean Hangul lettering
• Dual-sided antique gold-tone design incorporating the Korean Peninsula, U.S. and Republic of Korea flags, and DMZ DUSTOFF insignia
📌 DESCRIPTION
This personalized 542nd Medical Company (Air Ambulance) challenge coin captures a significant chapter of U.S. Army aeromedical evacuation history in South Korea. The 542nd served from Camp Page during its 1995–2005 Korea assignment, supporting DUSTOFF operations and medical evacuation requirements associated with U.S. forces training near the Korean DMZ. The personalized SSG MANN engraving makes this particular example especially identifiable within that unit context.
One side displays a raised UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter over large DMZ lettering with DUSTOFF beneath it. A recessed name panel is engraved SSG MANN, while Korean Hangul lettering follows the lower curve. The combination of the aircraft, DMZ reference, and DUSTOFF identity creates a direct visual connection to the 542nd’s air ambulance mission in Korea.
The opposite side identifies the unit in raised lettering as 542ND MEDICAL COMPANY / AIR AMBULANCE. The central crest incorporates DMZ DUSTOFF AIR AMBULANCE, the Korean Peninsula, a representation of the DMZ, and the flags of the United States and Republic of Korea. Together, these elements reflect the unit’s Korea-based MEDEVAC role and the U.S.–ROK alliance under which that mission operated.

🧭 CONDITION & PHOTO NOTES
This 542nd Medical Company Air Ambulance coin retains strong raised UH-60 and unit-emblem detail, an even antique-gold tone, clearly legible SSG MANN engraving, and light edge and surface wear from prior handling visible in the photos.
The relief, lettering, Korean Peninsula imagery, flags, and recessed details remain clearly defined, giving the coin a strong overall display presentation while preserving visible signs of prior ownership.
As with most pre-owned collectible challenge coins, light evidence of handling, display, storage, or age may be present. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and provide the best representation of the exact coin you will receive.
📸 Photos are taken under high-intensity lighting to highlight fine details, sculpting, and finish. This lighting may reveal minor surface characteristics that are often less noticeable during normal display.
🪙 This listing is for one (1) challenge coin only.

💥 WHY THIS COIN STANDS OUT
• Specific 542nd Medical Company (Air Ambulance) Korea DMZ DUSTOFF identity
• Personalized SSG MANN engraving distinguishes this individual example from a standard unit coin
• Strong UH-60 Black Hawk, Korean Peninsula, DMZ, and U.S.–ROK imagery ties both sides directly to the unit’s aeromedical evacuation mission
• Compact 1.56-inch format with detailed dual-sided raised relief and antique gold-tone finish
