What’s the Story Behind Air Force Challenge Coins?
Challenge coins have been a part of the United States military for decades. US Army challenge coin history has its roots in WWI and extends well into the present.
In the Air Force, challenge coins usually represent an achievement of some sort. The achievement could be something that many go through, like serving with a specific unit or making it through basic training. However, it could also be something to honor special circumstances, like completing a challenging exercise or receiving an award.
Air Force Challenge Coin Design Options
There are many different challenge coin designs out there. However, Air Force coins tend to feature a few similar design elements.
Air Force Symbol
The Air Force symbol is a striking and memorable design. Seeing it on a coin instantly identifies it as an Air Force challenge coin.
Aeronautics Imagery
The Air Force is incredibly unique in how it operates and what service members do as part of the branch. With a specialty in taking to the skies, there is no end to the unique images you can add to an Air Force challenge coin.
Popular options include:
- Specific plane models
- Specific plane types
- Aeronautics equipment
- Radar screens
The Air Force Motto
When it comes to the words on an Air Force challenge coin, the Air Force motto is an easy choice. “Fly-Fight-Win” is an uplifting call to action that suits any coin.
The great part about custom Air Force challenge coins is that you can incorporate this motto anywhere on the coin. The words can go front and center, taking a commanding place in the middle of the coin. However, by curving the text, you can place the motto around the coin’s edge, allowing something more elaborate to take the center spot.
Names and Call Signs
The Air Force is unique because of its focus on call signs. These identifying names are an important part of any pilot’s identity.
Because of this, you will see call signs on many Air Force challenge coins.
However, not everyone has a call sign. In these cases, nicknames are a great alternative.
Service Years
Service years are the perfect way to personalize Air Force challenge coins. They instantly call to mind the time someone spent in the military.
Personal Details
Some Air Force challenge coins focus less on the Air Force as a whole and more on the efforts of individuals and groups.
Coins that focus on groups include those for specific units. These may include images that are important to the group. They could also include the group’s name or the names of people in the group.
Coins focused on an individual can take any number of different pathways. These include anything from a record of someone’s military service to inside jokes about their service time that only the recipient and the giver might understand.
