IGY6 Challenge Coin

The saying goes “I Got Your Six” which is usually seen on social media abbreviated as IGY6, comes from servicemembers training to always have their buddy’s back in their time of need. Military members use the clock to indicate direction. When something is in front of you, they tell you it’s at 12 o’clock. If something is to your left or right, they tell you it’s at 9 o’clock or 3 o’clock respectively. Finally, if something is behind you, it’s at 6 o’clock.

The military and first responder communities often face exceptional challenges when it comes to mental health. These individuals are regularly exposed to high-stress situations, trauma, and dangerous conditions, which can take a toll on their mental well-being. The IGY6 spirit helps to create a sense of community and support within these groups, encouraging individuals to seek help and providing a safe space for open and honest conversations about mental health.

Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association asked us to craft custom challenge coins for their 2022 Vets Helping Vets IGY6 event. They wanted something different but still looking classic and elegant.

You can see in the photos that the rim of the coin was engraved with a cool chain pattern. Other details such as the colorful skull and the Star Spangled Banner were done with precision. It’s one cool and tough-looking challenge coin.
