Oregon Challenge Coins
Famously explored by the Lewis and Clark expedition, Oregon’s 98,379 square miles is covered with some of the most diverse natural geography found in the United States. The state is perhaps most well-known for the historic Oregon Trail, an emigrant route that was widely traveled during, prior to, and after the California Gold Rush. With coastal beaches, massive forests, deserts, mountains, and volcanoes dotting the state’s landscape, Oregon’s natural beauty and wonder has inspired generations of Americans for years. From the coast of Portland to the heartland of the state’s capital city, Salem, the people who call Oregon their home live surrounded by an almost magical natural environment locals have long deemed a key aspect of their state’s culture.
The beauty of Oregon’s natural environment is reflected in the unique challenge coin designs commissioned by the people and organizations that call Oregon their home. From vistas of Mount Hood to the unique wildlife and flora of the region, Oregon’s natural world is a very popular subject of challenge coins commissioned from people in the state.
A state’s natural charm is only one of many aspects that we at Signature Coins try to capture when designing United States challenge coins. As one of the oldest traditions in our nation’s military forces, challenge coin designs are as diverse as the people who commission them. An organization’s home state, for example, might be an aspect that they take particular pride in when they come to us for our services. As unique tokens of honor and pride, we try our utmost to capture the significant symbols and aspects of an organization through our well-crafted challenge coins.
Oregon Law Enforcement and First Responders
Oregon’s diverse natural landscape also creates unique challenges for law enforcement and first responders in the state. As well as the common elements of municipal crime and medical emergencies that can occur in any city, the people of Oregon also face a variety of natural hazards. The natural beauty and wonders of the state's geography come hand in hand with geological shifts and processes that can cause volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, landslides, forest fires, and sometimes more than one of them all at once. To protect the people who call Oregon home and to ensure the safety of the local communities, the first responders and law enforcement organizations receive specialized training and equipment that allowing them to respond to a variety of different situations.
However, all the training and equipment in the world doesn’t change the fact that Oregon’s first responders constantly face some of the most dangerous natural challenges known to man. From operating helicopters to save survivors after a flood to fighting raging forest fires after a volcanic eruption, Oregon’s first responders constantly face dangerous situations. In recognition of their dauntless service, first responders commission unique challenge coins that honor members of Oregon’s law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency services.
