Civil Engineering Challenge Coin

The 146th Airlift Wing (146 AW) is a unit of the California Air National Guard, stationed at Channel Islands Air National Guard Station, Oxnard, California. Its primary mission is to provide global military airlift capability to a full spectrum of state and federal agencies. If activated to federal service, the Wing is gained by the United States Air Force Air Mobility Command.

The 146th Civil Engineering Squadron is a part of the 146 AW. Its mission is to prepare combat-ready engineers for worldwide deployment while providing premier engineering and emergency support. They contacted us and asked to manufacture a custom challenge coin. They wanted something distinctive and extraordinary, using the map of the state of California as the shape of the coin.

On the front side, they wanted to put their mascot, a raging bull, and the inscription of The 146th Civil Engineering Squadron. Above it, we placed their insignia, and under it, we put their slogan, both to be embossed on the surface. Yellow paint was applied for the background of the front side, also the letterings and the graphics were also painted in colors.

On the back side, they wanted to have an image of a bear, an airplane, and the scenery of the Californian mountains to be engraved. With only the bear’s teeth to be painted, the rest is just finished with brushed brass color.
