The tradition

What is a challenge coin?

A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion that carries the emblem of a unit, department or organization.

It is given by hand to mark membership, recognize service, or honor a moment worth remembering. The tradition is strongest in the military, and veterans' groups, law enforcement, fire and rescue services and many civilian teams share it today.

  • Earned, not boughtA coin is usually presented in person, for something you did or somewhere you served.
  • Carried with prideMany people keep theirs in a pocket or on a desk for years.
  • Always a storyWho gave it, where and why is what collectors value most.
