Marine Corps Ball honors the birthday of the Marines.  This year’s celebration held on 11/11/11 was especially important because of its significant date.  People that attended the annual celebration knew that it would be extra special.

The first formal ball was celebrated in 1925.  Birthday celebrations took on various forms.  Dances were the most popular, mock battles, musical performances, pageants, and sporting events also took place.  Today’s balls are often attended by celebrities.  This year, singer and actor Justin Timberlake attended and blogged about his experience.

Custom challenge coins are a popular item to hand out at the ball to members of your unit.  The one pictured here was designed by 123rd for the 236th birthday of the Marine Corps.  It is classic die struck gold on the back and soft enamel color on the front.  A ram’s head is the logo for the unit.  It helps identify them and lets the recipient remember their time in that particular unit.

The coin pictured here is very distinguished because of the font the customer chose to use and the crossed swords and shield.  The Marine Corps logo is a must to include.  Classic red and gold Marine colors are often used on coins just like you see here.  Details like these add to the rich personal history of the coin and also make it attractive and personal.

You can also add sequential numbering to make the coin an extra special collector’s item.  Add-ons like these make all the difference.  They increase the visual appeal of the custom coins.  We offer a number of options that can take your coin’s design to the next level.
