The Augusta Military Academy Museum dedicates itself to preserving the rich military and educational heritage of the Augusta Military Academy, which served young men from 1874 to 1983. Our mission is to educate the public about the academy’s impact on individual lives, military history, and the broader community.

Coins have been given as souvenirs and rewards since Roman times. Tradition suggests that the modern challenge coin concept dates to the First World War. According to a legend, an American lieutenant in the Army Air Corps printed medallions to encourage esprit de corps among his men. We have over 120 of these coins in our collection.
