The Core Values Coin

The Core Values Coin is a small, rare gift created by The Association of Former Students to recognize Aggies who live and reflect the core values of Texas A&M.

The coin bears the Texas A&M logo on one side and The Association of Former Students logo on the other.

Since the coins were first introduced in 2013, only 148 coins have been presented.
