What Is A Challenge Coin?

A single challenge coin is a small metal medallion that incorporates an organization’s insignias or emblem. Challenge coins are often given as a token of appreciation, recognition, or identification to members of a particular organization, such as the military, law enforcement, or a particular unit or team.

What Are Challenge Coins Used For?

Historically, challenge coins were used for the military to honor brave soldiers and those who made significant contributions. Nowadays, more than the military, commemorative coins are widely used in law enforcement such as police departments, fire departments, the navy, and the army. 

Today, challenge coins are also used by businesses, organizations, and groups to recognize achievements, fundraising events, commemorations, souvenirs, funerals, fundraisers, birthdays, sports teams, and more.

We collaborate with numerous veteran-owned companies, law enforcement agencies, and brands to customize commemorative coins.
