Navy Seal Challenge Coins Made in the Shape of Playing Cards

The United States Navy’s Sea, Air, and Land Teams are commonly referred to as Navy SEALs.  They are part of the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) and a maritime component of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).  They are also the U.S. Navy’s principal special operations force.  The acronym is derived from their capacity to operate at sea, in the air, and on land.  Navy SEALS are a driving force during wartime because they have been used almost exclusively for land-based operations.  SEALs are male members of either the United States Navy or the United States Coast Guard.

We were contacted by a group that wanted a special challenge coin to hand out to its members.  Navy SEAL groups are identified by team name and a number.  The coin featured in this blog is unique and stands out for a number of reasons.  At a glance, it looks like a normal playing card.  This style of challenge coin is popular among members of the military.   It also incorporates the number 8 in a few key positions which makes it instantly identifiable by all who see.

The second noticeable detail about the coin is the fact that it uses 3D molds to draw attention to the Navy emblem and the revolvers featured on the back side of the coin.  Details like these make the challenge coins more interesting and realistic.  Members of the military hold onto these items for years because they remind them of the time that they served.

Finally, the antique finish that can be found on the front side helps give the coin an aged and worn look.  This gives it a distinctive look and adds to the sentimental value of the coin.  Many awards are antiqued so that they look older and more sophisticated. Small touches help add to their visual appeal and make them more collectible.

Part of the appeal of challenge coins is their ability to be customized.  Unique shapes, sizes, and artwork add to the appeal of these items and make them as interesting as the people and groups they are created for.  Visit http://www.challengecoinsplus.com to see examples of the different types of challenge coins we offer.  You can also call 1-800-252-0904 or email info@challengecoinsplus.com today to request a free quote.  We can’t wait to get started on your custom design.
