Operations Specialist Challenge Coin

Operations Specialist or OS, is a United States Navy and United States Coast Guard occupational rating. An OS functions as a plotter, radio-telephone, and Command and Control sound-powered telephone talker, and maintains Combat Information Center (CIC) displays of strategic and tactical information.

Using a wide variety of assets available to them, Operations Specialists are responsible for the organized collection, processing, display, competent evaluation and rapid dissemination of pertinent tactical combat information to command and control stations, upon which sound tactical decisions may be made.

A USS Mesa Verde personnel contacted us and requested us to make them a custom challenge coin, they wanted a navy challenge coin that would look modern and have a technological vibe to it, since Operations Specialists deal with leading-edge pieces of equipment.

We used a round-shaped metal for the coin’s base material. To make it more contemporary-looking, we left the edge and rim of the coin smooth without any patterns. On the front side, we embossed the emblem of Mesa Verda and the logotype of the Operations Specialist, colored simply just as shadows to give the overall design depth, and left the remaining space with only sandy texture, without any decorations or graphics.

On the back side of the coin, we engraved an image of an OS console, encircled with their inscribed motto, and had the background colored with glossy black paint.
