VMA Navy Challenge Coin

Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533 (VMFA(AW)-533) is a United States Marine squadron. also known as the “Hawks”. The squadron is based at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina. They began its history on 1 October, 1943. On this date, Marine Night Fighter Squadron 533 (VMF(N)-533) was commissioned at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. Their mission is to conduct joint / combined aviation operations in order to support a Marine Air Ground Task Force commander’s Command and Control, intelligence, fires, maneuver, and force protection warfighting functions.

They requested a custom challenge coin to us, and so we want to design a one-of-a-kind coin that would represent the squadron in its entirety. On one side of the coin, we put their insignia and a bit of lettering. And on the other side, they wanted to have the Grumman A6 Intruder, one of their attack aircrafts, to be sculpted nicely there.

What you get as a result is a very straightforward and unique looking challenge coin. On one side it look like a simple regular coin, with the insignia of the squadron nicely embossed and painted. And the other side the Intruder aircraft is crafted precisely it looks like it’s going to fly right out of the coin!
