Army Challenge Coins With Character

This we’ll defend! The United States Army since its birth in 1775 (One year older than the USA) has come from a long line of traditions and history. Going back to World War 1 the military challenge coin has been every part of this history and tradition. Army challenge coins are symbolic of the accomplishments of the United States Army, they represent the Army units, its Soldiers, leadership and its dedication to preserving the freedoms of the United States. Our soldiers have been in every conflict, battle and war since America was first formed and they have carried the banner of freedom since day one. Their Army challenge coins have carried that banner of success from generation to generation.

Army challenge coins are iconic of the accomplishments, honor and history of the US Army and its Soldiers. Army challenge coins identify a military unit like an Army Division, Brigade Combat Team, Infantry regiment or possibly a field artillery battalion. Army military units we have designed Army challenge coins include the 101st Air Assault Division, 1st Armored Division, 82nd Airborne Division, 1st Cavalry Division (The First Team) and many more.

Unit commanders hand their Soldiers an Army challenge coin because of their fierce dedication and actions of going above and beyond the call of duty. Excellence in their duties, the units served with, special accomplishments, experiences, an acknowledgement and living memory of ones career in the United States Army is what an Army challenge coin represents.

This was their first President Coin they created. We were honored to do so.

What Makes the Perfect Military Challenge Coin?

A frequent question asked among challenge coin collectors is the origin of the military challenge coin. Lots of opinions it was first identified when a US Army Soldier in WW1 attempting to return to friendly lines was stopped by French Soldiers. Unable to speak French he presented them with a toke, a small metal item with the identity of his military unit displayed on its surface. They challenged him. He presented a coin. He passed safely to his unit. Other discussions involve that the first official use of military unit coins comes from the US Army’s 17th Infantry during the Korean War. Every branch of the United States Armed Forces have their challenge coins but the diversity of both shape, design and display of art resounds with the US Army.

Our US veteran art team focus on team culture and unit history never swaying from the Army continuance of of its coins to illustrate a connection to its first ever unit coins, each having a unique sense of tradition, personality and character. If you’re looking for the perfect design, a good place to start is with a unit crest, a slogan, motto, call sign, unit’s mascots and emblems like many of our favorite Army challenge coins designed by Vision Strike Coins.
