Armed Forces Challenge Coin

The Roman Empire rewarded soldiers by presenting them with coins to recognize their achievements. In Rome, if soldiers excelled in battle one day, they would receive their typical day’s wages along with a separate bonus coin each. According to one story, the first use of challenge coins in the United States originated during World War I. Others argue the tradition started in Vietnam.

The United States Armed Forces are the military forces of the United States of America. The armed forces consists of six service branches: the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. This custom challenge coin commissioned to us is for a joint event between the Army, Air Force, Navy, and the Marines. They wanted something unsophisticated but still classy and presentable.

The result is a quite exquisite piece of coin. A logo on one side, encircled with precisely embossed letterings of their core values. And on the other side, the insignias of the 4 military forces, with the Star Spangled Banner graphic as the background. A twisted line pattern on the edge of the coin gives an elegant accent to the whole design.
