BAE Systems Challenge Coin

BAE Systems was formed on 30th November 1999 by the £7.7 billion purchase and merger between Marconi Electronic Systems (MES) – the defense electronics and naval shipbuilding subsidiary of the General Electric Company (GEC) by British Aerospace, an aircraft, munitions, and naval systems manufacturer.

The name was created through the use of the historic acronym for British Aerospace (BAe) combined with the ‘Systems’ section of partner company Marconi Electronic Systems. BAE is the successor to various aircraft, shipbuilding, armored vehicles, armaments, and defense electronics companies, including the Marconi Company, the first commercial company devoted to the development and use of radio.

We had the opportunity to manufacture a custom challenge coin for BAE Systems. They requested a design that could represent the spirit of the company, which is to be a world leader in defense and security systems around the globe. They wanted something like a classic-looking coin with an elegant vibe to it.

We applied gold as the base color of the coin, and after we got the material through our state-of-the-art computerized machinery and had all of the inscriptions and engravings done, we applied the colors on the surface of the coin. You can see in the photos that even the small details such as the stars could be painted flawlessly.
