This custom challenge coin was created for the 918th Contracting Battalion (918th CBN), a highly specialized U.S. Army unit dedicated to delivering contracting support that keeps military operations moving. Often considered the Army’s business and procurement experts, the 918th CBN ensures warfighters receive the supplies, services, and construction resources required to accomplish missions both at home and in deployed environments. Their responsibilities span acquisition, construction contracting, contingency operations, and direct support to Army and Joint Force commanders. Headquartered at Fort Carson, the battalion’s work is tightly linked to enabling readiness and operational success across diverse mission sets.

When the 918th CBN approached us, they wanted a coin that captured the spirit of their home, Fort Carson, a post defined by its rugged Rocky Mountain surroundings. To bring this concept to life, we designed a custom shape featuring a traditional rounded lower half and a striking Rocky Mountain silhouette forming the top. On the front, the mountains are rendered in bold black and white, paired with carefully placed inscriptions that highlight the unit’s identity. The reverse side showcases the battalion’s insignias and logos, embossed with exceptional precision and enhanced with detailed color work to ensure every element stands out.

This design demonstrates how custom shapes and unique concepts can elevate a challenge coin beyond the ordinary. If you have a vision for a one-of-a-kind coin, bottle opener, or belt buckle, the team at Embleholics is ready to turn your idea into a finely crafted reality.
