The city of Key West needed a coin that immediately was recognizable. One of the most prominent places in Key West is the “Southern Most Point” buoy statue. Located on the water, tourists from all over the world have undoubtedly had a picture snapped in front of this monument. Having this landmark featured on the challenge coin makes it easily distinguishable by anyone familiar with Key West.
Another feature of the coin is the seal that is used on one of the sides. With the image of the conch clearly in the seal, it is no wonder that Key West’s’ inhabitants call themselves the “Conch Republic”. Custom challenge coins are personal and memorable. They are tied to an individual or city’s history and therefore considered the ultimate collector’s item.
