Operation Freedom Army Challenge Coin

Operation Freedom’s Sentinel (OFS) was the official name used by the U.S. government for the mission succeeding Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in continuation of the War in Afghanistan as part of the larger Global War on Terrorism. After thirteen years of Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S. military and NATO allies shifted focus from major military operations to a smaller role of NATO-led training and assistance. Operation Freedom Sentinel was expected to formally end on August 31, 2021, but concluded with the final withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan on August 30.

The OFS Signal Command division requested an exclusive but functional custom challenge coin. And we agreed to go design one that can also be used as a bottle opener. We wanted to make a pretty simple shape for the coin, but not too simple that it will become so ordinary, so we decided to combine a square shape with a circle, and then bevel the edges to make the outline looks smoother.

The result is a one-off challenge coin that looks and feels like a dog tag, and you can bring anywhere and use it as a practical bottle opener. If you look closely, you can see that the embossed insignias and lettering are perfectly manufactured that you can see each of them clearly. We are really happy to see that a functional item could look this beautiful.
