Meaning

Design

Front (Obverse)

Top rim: AUTONOMOUS AGENT WRANGLERS
Bottom rim: HUMAN IN THE LOOP DIVISION
Center: A developer in a cowboy hat braces their boots and holds a lasso around an eager, many-armed robot that is typing on several keyboards at once. Terminal windows fan out around the robot, and one of them shows a blinking cursor after a half-typed rm -rf.

Back (Reverse)

A terminal-style permission prompt framed by laurels: "ALLOW THIS COMMAND? [Y/N]", with the inscription "READ BEFORE YOU APPROVE".

Finish & Style

Antique bronze challenge coin, ~1.75" diameter, high-relief center scene, raised rim lettering, beaded outer edge. Matches the existing ITChallengeCoins series.
