This is the Army Engineer Regimental Coin. One side is the regimental crest with castle. The other side is the same image as are on our buttons. *** The button: The Corps of Engineers' oldest and most time honored insignia is the exclusive Essayons Button. It has not changed in basic design since the war of 1812. It is still the required button for the Army Engineers' uniform. The button has an eagle holding in his beak a scroll with the word, 'Essayons,' a bastion with embrasures in the distance, surrounded by water, and rising sun; the figures to be of dead gold upon a bright field." In 1902, when the Army adopted "regulation" buttons, it allowed only the Corps of Engineers to retain its own distinctive Essayons Button in recognition of the distinguished traditions that it symbolized. *** TRIVIA 1! The Corps of Engineers is the only branch with their own buttons. TRIVIA 2! Eassaysons means "Let Us Try!"
