THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN MILITARY CHALLENGE COIN AWARDS
About a decade ago, the Challenge Coin industry got a wake-up call.
Up until then, challenge coins were made in the classic, antique style, which was great for some folks, but others found them to be round, flat, and empty.
People started asking for a little more spice, originality, and bold designs in their new custom coins. That's when clients started to bring us more complex ideas. Instead of refusing to take on the projects as most other companies did, we embraced the challenge.
"Adapt and overcome." It's in the spirit of every custom Army challenge coin we produce.
But most importantly, what did our clients think?
Soldiers loved our sleek, modern 3-D designs and color enamel challenge coins custom-made to order so much, that we began seeing more international orders from other militaries around the world not long after, thanks to your word-of-mouth. In business, there is no higher honor than a referral.
And that's how we like to keep it.
WE HAVE EVEN MORE BENEFITS FOR YOU:
UP AND AT 'EM, SOLDIER:
It takes a lot of effort, longer production time, and hard design to make these unique coins possible, so the list of clients can get full from time to time.
