Masonic coin symbols
These symbols might appear unusual to outsiders, but they’re rich in history and meaning. Though each lodge might have its own unique symbols, here are some of the ones you might encounter the most often…
- Square and compass: Likely the most recognizable symbol of the Freemasons, the square and compass is a reminder to act justly while understanding one’s unique role in the vast universe.
- The letter G: Similarly, the letter G is often found alongside the square and compass. Some think this refers to geometry and mathematical lessons, while others see it as a reminder of God’s presence in our lives.
- All-seeing eye: Freemasons must remember that the Higher Power is all-seeing and all-knowing. God himself watches over all.
- Apron and gloves: Next, Freemasons must lead with their pure hearts and keep their hands clean of any sins.
- Ashlars: Some Masonic coins also have ashlars. This is a symbol of the contrast between man’s natural state and the perfection of the Higher Power.
- HTWSSTKS: Because there isn’t much space for lengthy statements on these coins, you’ll commonly see this abbreviation, which refers to the Mark Master Degree. This can be interpreted in different ways, but the words themselves stand for “Hiram, Tyrian, Widow’s Son, Sent to King Solomon.” The story of King Solomon is an important part of Freemasons’ study.

the story behind the coin
Challenge coins trace their origins to military tradition, where they were used to signify identity, service, and loyalty among those who stood side by side. Over time, the meaning of the coin extended beyond the military, finding a natural home within fraternal organizations rooted in tradition and symbolism. Freemasonry, with its centuries-old emphasis on brotherhood, moral character, and shared obligation, embraced the challenge coin as a modern expression of those timeless principles.
Within Masonic lodges, challenge coins have become a way to honor both individual milestones and collective history. Lodges commission coins to mark degrees, lodge anniversaries, officer installations, special events, or a brother’s years of faithful service. Some coins commemorate a single meaningful moment, while others reflect the enduring legacy of a lodge that has served its community across generations.
Today, Masonic challenge coins serve as tangible links between past and present. Each coin represents a shared journey—one built on trust, fellowship, and commitment to the craft. More than keepsakes, they preserve memories, reinforce belonging, and carry forward the values that define the Masonic tradition.
