Department of Veterans Affairs

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a Cabinet-level executive branch department of the federal government charged with supplying lifelong healthcare services to eligible military veterans at the 170 VA medical centers and outpatient clinics nationwide. Its mission is to fulfill President Lincoln’s promise to care for those who have served in our nation’s military and for their families, caregivers, and survivors.

The origin story of the modern VA includes many previous entities and names dating back as far as the American colonies. Department of Veteran Affairs has not always been its name, they used to call it by many names such as National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Veterans Bureau, Bureau of Pensions, War Risk Bureau, and Veterans Administration.

The custom challenge coin that we crafted for them has a unique design. From afar it will look like an ordinary coin, but if you see it close enough you can see the hollowed-out parts which create a form of a badge, within the outline of the coin. They asked us to apply an engraving of the VA insignia on the front side and the Police emblem on the back.

The coin has a clean look with minimum decorations. The edge is smooth without any carved pattern, and the colors were only applied to some of the graphic elements of the insignias. It is finished with a golden brass color with a brush effect to add texture and shade.
