I expected more from a samurai.

This challenge coin looks cool, no doubt about it. The design is solid and the colors pop. But let's be real--it's just a coin. I don't know if I could even call it a "hobby collection" item, since there's not much to collect here. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort put into this product. It's a nice homage to samurai culture and I'm sure there are collectors out there who will be thrilled to add this coin to their display. But for me, it just doesn't have that extra zhuzh to make it stand out. Overall, it's not a bad purchase if you're a fan of samurai stuff or you're just looking to add to your challenge coin collection. But if you're expecting something truly exceptional, you might be a little disappointed.

Pros

As part of the Hobby Collection, this challenge coin is produced in limited quantities. Collectors can rest assured they're getting a unique and highly sought after item that's sure to increase in value over time

Cons

Despite its samurai theme, the BASTION Hobby Collection Commemorative Modern Samurai Challenge Coin lacks unique special features, such as holographic or glow-in-the-dark elements, that many collectors may be looking for in a high-end collectible item
