Since World War I, challenge coins have been a big part of military culture.  These tokens of appreciation relate to camaraderie, brotherhood, and pride which are the same core beliefs held by rugby teams from around the world.  Both groups enjoy  designing and collecting challenge coins.  This passionate pastime is one that will continue to be popular for decades. Rugby Is Not a Sport For the Faint-Hearted

Some people view rugby matches as intense battles pitting one team up against another.  Players see the sport quite differently.  They enjoy the competitive nature of the game and this belief shows through in their athleticism.  Rugby players put on a good show whether they win or lose. Coat of Arms Links Rugby Teams With Military Units

Here is an interesting piece of trivia.  Many rugby teams have a coat of arms dating back to its origins which are key design elements of their custom challenge coins.  Military branches and units also have coat of arms that identify their particular unit or squadron.  This shared connection is one of the most exciting things about challenge coins.  Just by appearance alone, they are highly regarded because of their ability to honor worthy individuals.

Selling Rugby Coins At Tournaments

Rugby coins are popular at tournaments where participants can purchase the official “tournament” coin so that they can have a visual reminder of that weekend’s matches.  Unlike lapel pins, challenge coins have a larger area to work with not to mention two sides which allows bigger designs and more content to be placed on these memorable keepsakes.
