Custom Coast Guard Challenge Coins
Military Coins With Character
Just like any custom military challenge coin, a Coast Guard challenge coin is designed to tell a story. Some are made in celebration of anniversaries or special occasions, while others are designed specifically to honor a ship and her crew. They come in custom shapes, sizes and colors but no matter how different they may look or feel, each one is still a part of the Coast Guard’s story.
Creating Your Own Coast Guard Coin Design
If you’re looking for a challenge coin maker to help create a coin for your team, you’ve come to the right place. Some of the most popular inspirations for the design of coast guard challenge coins are things like the coast guard emblem and the famous orange and white color scheme the service is known for, but our team will craft any style of artwork you need. However, the most important part of any custom coast guard coin is how it honors the brave men and women dedicating their lives to service.
Different Styles of USCG Challenge Coins
Custom military coins come in all kinds of different styles and are used for different things. If you’re not sure what will work best for your design ideas, take a look at a few of the Coast Guard challenge coins we’ve made in the past before getting started on your own project.
For designs incorporating the Coast Guard emblem and colors, 2D challenge coins are an excellent option. 2D artwork has a raised and recessed layer, and soft enamel colors are added to the recessed portions of the design to help add contrast to the artwork. Our intricate molding process makes it easy to create beautifully detailed designs with intricate color patterns.

We also make more complex 3D challenge coins that offer an unrivaled level of depth and detail in their design. Adding color to a fully 3D design is not always possible, so many of our customers combine both 3D and 2D artwork in their custom Coast Guard coins to create unique and memorable designs.
Another option is to create a set of custom USCG challenge coins with cut outs or custom shapes. Cut outs are portions of a coin design that are cut away, giving the artwork a unique appeal. Our production team also uses functional cut outs to create custom bottle opener coins. Functional bottle opener coins and custom shape coins are perfect options for anyone looking to design a coin that stands apart from the crowd.

A rope edge is a common sight on Navy and coast guard coins. When the rope edge for your coin doesn't go all the way to the edge, you get the ability to add detail and contrast to the design via colorfill.
