Australian Defense Force Challenge Coins
Celebrate the Services of the Australian Defense Force with Custom Challenge Coins
Australian Armed Forces have been a part of the country for all of its history, but the formation of the Australian Defense Force as its known today started with the Federation of Australia. When the six different colonies of Australia decided to unite and form the Commonwealth of Australia in the late 1800s, the question of how best to defend this new nation had to be addressed. Mounting pressure from Germany and France made the possibility of an attack imminent. Quickly after Federation, the Department of Defense established the Commonwealth Military Forces. With these early decisions, the defense of Australia and its national interests began.
Today, the Australian Defense Force is made up of brave men and women working to uphold Australia’s defense policy. Their hard work and sacrifice is best recognized with the presentation of Australian Defense Force challenge coins. The coins work to enhance team unity and boost morale amongst enlisted troops.
The entirety of the ADF consists of three services and nine groups. The services consist of soldiers and personnel working on the ground, in the water and in the air to defend the country. ADF services include:
- The Australian Army
- The Royal Australian Navy
- The Royal Australian Air Force
While each service used to be separate and independent of one another, they currently work together and are all organized under the collective command of the Minister of Defense.
The nine groups that complete the formation of the ADF make up the defense corporate structure. These nine groups include:
- Strategic Policy & Intelligence Group
- Vice Chief of the Defence Force
- Chief Information Officer Group
- Chief Finance Officer Group
- Capability Acquisition & Sustainment Group
- People Group
- Estate & Infrastructure Group
- Joint Operations Command
- Science & Technology Group
Like each service, each group has its own personnel and tasks working together in the furthering of the ultimate goals of the Australian Defense Force.

Australian Defense Challenge Coin
Military unit coins will often have a sense of fun. The kangaroo and emu, both indigenous to Australia, are not the kind of animals you're likely going to see when visiting the pyramids of Egypt, but including them here was a fun way to reference the Australian Defence Force's contribution to peacekeeping during Operation Mazurka.

Royal Australian Navy Challenge Coins
Prior to Federation, each of the individual colonies of Australia were responsible for protecting their own coastline. The collective navies of the colonies weren’t very strong, and the nation mostly relied on the Royal Navy for its defense. Today, the Royal Australian Navy boasts of over 16,000 permanent sailors and over 4,700 reserve sailors.
One of the largest and most sophisticated naval forces in the Pacific region, the Royal Australian Navy consists of nearly 50 commissioned vessels housed and launched from four bases located across the country. The naval bases of the Royal Australian Navy include:
- HMAS Albatross
- HMAS Moreton
- HMAS Platypus
- HMAS Watson
Life on each base differs and the history of each is as rich and interesting as the stories of the sailors serving. These unique individuals deserve challenge coins as distinct as they are. With Signature Coins, you gain the advantage of being able to choose your challenge coins’ color, size, shape, plating and many other options. If you want a coin that resembles the outline of a specific ship from the Royal Australian Navy fleet, that’s a simple option to employ with our unique customization options.
Partnering with Signature Coins for the creation of your RAN challenge coins means they only limits to the design of your coin are those of your own imagination.
Royal Australian Air Force Challenge Coins
The youngest branch of the Australian Defense Force, the Royal Australian Air Force got its start in 1921. Initially, the Australian Flying Corps were established as a section of the Australian Army in 1912. Eventually the AFC separated from the Army and became the RAAF.
Today, the Royal Australian Air Force is organized around the following four pillars and service:
- Swift — The Royal Australian Air Force provides immediate and responsive military options.
- Decisive — The Royal Australian Air Force takes decisive action in dealing with Australia’s enemies.
- Resilient — The RAAF are leaders in control of air and space operations.
- Respected — Through strategic management of Australia's military aviation capability, the RAAF will forever be respected.
Each member for the RAAF embodies those ideals in their own unique way. Royal Australian Air Force challenge coins give them a way to remember those pillars of service and carry that reminder with them everywhere they go.
Of all of the traditions surrounding military challenge coins, the act of the challenge is the most classic. When a member of a military unit presents a challenge coin to other soldiers, these soldiers must produce their own challenge coin. If these challenged members do not produce their challenge coin immediately, they are required to purchase a round of drinks for the other unit members. If they all produce their challenge coins, the challenger must purchase the round of drinks for everyone present.
Start your own challenge coin traditions with your order of custom Royal Australian Air Force challenge coins from Signature Coins.
