SSBN 743 Challenge Coin

USS Lousiana (SSBN 743) is the 18th and last submarine of the Ohio class of ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), and the fourth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name. She carries Trident ballistic missiles and has been in commission since 1997. The keel of Louisiana was laid on Oct. 23, 1992, and she was christened on July 27.

Louisiana’s crest recalls the traditions of the people of the state of Louisiana and the three previous U.S. Navy ships to bear the name Louisiana. The symbolism of the crest reminds both crews of their bond to the people and history of Louisiana, as well as the tradition of the naval veterans who have served aboard ships of the same name.

We had the opportunity to honor the USS Louisiana by crafting a custom challenge coin ordered by the U.S. Navy. They wanted a coin with a more modern vibe, without leaving the common U.S. Navy symbols such as the blue color and the trident.

We used a brass-colored metal as the base component for the coin. On the front side, we sculpted a relief of the submarine with some other graphic elements around it. The final touch for the coin is the shadow effect on the coin’s main color to give depth to the layout, and some painted colors on the relief.

Aviation Ordnance Challenge Coin

Aviation Ordnance Challenge Coin

In terms of military, Aviation Ordnance is any expendable weaponry (e.g. bombs, missiles, rockets, and gun ammunition) used by military aircraft. Aviation Ordnancemen (AO) operate and handle aviation ordnance equipment and they are responsible for the maintenance of guns, bombs, torpedoes, rockets, and missiles.

AOs perform their duties at sea on flight decks and ashore in hangars, on flight lines at air stations, or in shops under various environmental conditions. They work closely with others, do mostly physical work, and require little supervision. Aviation Ordnance Limited Duty Officers serve as officer technical managers in the field of operations and maintenance of aviation ordnance and aircraft armament.

We had an order from the U.S. Navy’s Ordnance University to produce custom challenge coins for their Aviation Ordnance Managers. They wanted a coin design that could represent the spirit of the U.S. Navy’s Aviation Ordnancemen, by having their insignia and the images of the aircraft & weapons put on both sides of the coin.

We placed their logo, a winged skull with a fiery top, on the front side of the coin, and had it embossed. On top of the logo, we engraved some ballistic missiles which represent the weapons handled by the AOs. On the back of the coin, we put some reliefs of the aircraft and a couple of U.S. Navy insignias.

Old Salt’s Chiefs Mess Coin

Old Salt’s Chiefs Mess Coin

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, an ‘Old Salt’ means ‘Someone who has sailed for many years’ or ‘An experienced sailor who has been at sea so long he is “salty” from the ocean’. In the United States Navy, ‘Old Salt’ is a nickname given to the USS Nimitz (CVN-68), being one of the USA’s famous ships with a long naval history.

Old Salt’s Chiefs Mess is the term used for the network of chiefs within a command as well as the chiefs in the USS Nimitz. Often referred to as, “the Mess,” it allows chiefs to share knowledge and information with each other, develop as leaders, and act as a resource to their Sailors.

We were given the chance to manufacture a beautiful custom challenge coin for the Old Salt’s Chiefs Mess. They wanted a shiny, good-looking challenge coin, with a little bit of uniqueness. The distinction that makes the coin unique is we cut a small portion of the coin and shaped it like a wave.

On the front side of the coin, we engraved a relief of a U.S. Navy Chief covered in gold color, with an image of ocean waves in the background. On the back side, we sculpted an image of the USS Nimitz in silver, encircled by 5 stars and with a big ‘N’ in the foreground. The edge and the rim of the coin, along with the inscriptions are painted with gold finish.

NTAG Houston Officer Coin

Navy Recruiting Command currently maintains 26 Navy Talent Acquisition Groups (NTAG), formerly known as Navy Recruiting Districts (NRD), strategically located throughout the United States. Navy Recruiting is responsible for recruiting young men and women into the Active Duty and Naval Reserve enlisted forces. We also recruit for Officer Candidate School, and Officer Indoctrination School and process applications for Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Recruiting is a unique duty assignment, one where your contributions directly affect our Navy’s ability to man the Fleet and be fully mission-ready every day. It requires strong, motivated men and women who embrace unique challenges and believe in the opportunity our Navy has to offer other deserving young adults.

The NTAG Houston requested a custom challenge coin to be manufactured for them. The design that they proposed to us was a classic U.S. Navy challenge coin, but it’s a bit exceptional because they wanted it to be shaped like a ship’s helm. Other than that it’s quite similar to a common USN coin design, with relief sculptures on both sides of the coin.

We ran the design through our 2D graphic designer to be applied for sampling and approval. After the computerized design was approved, we took it to our state-of-the-art machinery, and for the final touch, we applied the paint and protective coat to ensure the coin’s lastingness.

NMCB ONE Wardroom Coin

NMCB ONE or Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 1, is a United States Navy Seabee battalion, It has a long, proud, and distinguished history that reaches back to the early days of World War II. Commissioned on March 15, 1942, as Naval Construction Battalion ONE (NCB), the Battalion was soon split into two detachments and sent into service in the South Pacific.

Their mission is to develop and deliver highly capable engineering TEAMS that support Naval and Joint Warfighting requirements. They will aggressively execute all assigned missions, and be ready to Defend the Nation when called upon.

The wardroom is the mess cabin or compartment on a warship or other military ship for commissioned naval officers above the rank of midshipman, and NMCB ONE contacted us when they wanted to build a custom challenge coin for their wardroom. They requested a colorful design to be applied to the coin, with some details also inscribed on it.

We use their emblem to be etched on the front side of the coin and have it colored with glossy paints. The emblem is encircled by a gold rim. The battalion’s name is embossed over it and colored in black, while their motto was engraved on the bottom and painted gold. On the back side, we engraved some inscriptions and military symbols and used glossy white paint as the background.
