British Armed Forces Challenge Coins
The Structure Of A World Power
The Ministry of Defence ensures that all branches of the British Armed Forces have the training, equipment, and support necessary to maintain the UK’s presence as a world power. Dedication, honor, and courage are vital qualities needed for living up to the storied history and winning tradition of the British Armed Forces.
Today, the British military presence on the world stage is split between three major branches:
Each of these divisions of the British Armed Forces has their own set standards for training, service, and vision, however, each is aligned with the same mission of protecting the security, independence, and interests of the United Kingdom both domestically and abroad.
British Armed Forces challenge coins are designed with meticulous care and attention to detail. Custom artwork is molded by the traditions and values of teams within the British military on an individual basis. Those small details that set squads and units apart are what lend to the unique design and emotional weight of British Armed Forces challenge coins. At Signature Coins, we are committed to ensuring all of our coins capture the spirit and inspirational drive that make a unit stand out above the rest.
What Are Challenge Coins?
Challenge coins have been a common practice throughout military organizations, law enforcement department, and fire-rescue organizations all across the nation. Corporations and sports teams use challenge coins as well to promote team unity and align team goals. In the British Armed Forces, superior officers will oftentimes commission custom military challenge coins to hand out to their subordinates. Design cues relate to company or unit mottos, important dates, or emblems.
Making British Armed Forces challenge coins explicitly for a single unit is what translates so much meaning. When custom coins reflect the personality of a team, they are carried with excitement and impart a feeling of fulfillment. The coins are marks of distinguishment that set members apart from the innumerable squads and battalions that form the military might of the British Armed Forces. Soldiers can sometimes feel insignificant in the grand scheme, however, British Armed Forces challenge coins remind them of their importance within a select group of fighters, of their dedication to the country, and of their commitment to superior service!
