Custom challenge coins are metal tokens, often circular but sometimes uniquely shaped, that carry deep symbolic meaning. They’re rooted in military tradition—stories trace them back to World War I when a pilot’s coin saved his life by proving his identity—but they’ve since spread to law enforcement, corporations, clubs, and even personal collections. Typically made from metals like brass, zinc, or even precious options like gold or silver, they’re customized with designs, logos, mottos, or emblems that reflect a group’s identity, achievements, or values.
There are a few main styles: soft enamel coins have recessed enamel with raised metal edges for a textured look, while hard enamel coins are filled flush and polished smooth for a sleek, jewelry-like finish. You can also go for 3D designs with sculpted relief, or add extras like sequential numbering, glow-in-the-dark enamel, or even functional features like bottle openers. Sizes usually range from 1.5 to 3 inches, and finishes—like antique gold, shiny nickel, or black metal—add to the vibe.
