Royal Navy Challenge Coins
Unique Coins For Individual Teams
The history of the United Kingdom is the history of the Royal Navy. The two go hand in hand because of the Royal Navy’s insurmountable influence on the economy and power of the island nation through its earliest development. Since the 1500’s when it was first being formed under the rule of Henry VIII, the Royal Navy has played a crucial role in every war the United Kingdom has been involved in since. It has also been vital in building the nation into a world power through historic exploration efforts, trade, and shipment.
Signature Coins has been making challenge coins for military personnel for over 15 years. We take special care in crafting unique and compelling artwork for custom coins and use durable materials like zinc, brass, and steel to ensure dexterity and quality over time.

Branches of the Royal Navy
Organizing A World Class Power
Today, The Royal Navy is comprised of over 30,000 men and women and a fleet of over 50 ships including aircraft carriers, destroyers, assault ships, and even more classes. Each individual within the organization is committed to the mission of being ready to deploy anywhere in the world to provide support and save life at a moments notice. The Royal Navy has been an incredible power at sea since its earliest days and now, more than ever, they are capable of incredible force.
The structure of the Royal Navy is broken up into 5 arms of service:
- Fleet Air Arm
- Royal Marines
- Royal Fleet Auxiliary
- Submarine Services
- Surface Fleet
Each of these services works on the same principles and expectations of excellence. Signature coins can create custom designs for each of these branches as well as the bases in which they are stationed. The three Major Royal Navy Bases are:
- HMNB Clyde
- HMNB Devonport
- HMNB Portsmouth
When it comes to Royal Navy challenge coins, customization is limitless. Design cues featuring home bases or divisions within the armed service branches of the Royal Navy are what set them apart from any other coins on the market. Making custom coins as personal as possible ensures that the individuals who receive them will cherish the coins as symbols of their accomplishment is service. They will be displayed with excitement and honor as a mark of distinction within an elite group of warriors.

What are Challenge Coins?
How Custom Coins Can Improve Team Unity
In ancient Rome, Legion soldiers would be awarded an extra coin on top of their pay when they displayed exceptional bravery during battle or worked above and beyond the responsibility of a soldier in some way. The bonus coins that were handed out had symbols or emblems of the Legion minted into them, leading to soldiers keeping the coins instead of spending them. The personal emblems became a mark of inclusion within a unit and soldiers would carry them as a reminder of their accomplishment. They symbolized an individual’s valor and would be displayed with pride among the ranks.
Since then, challenge coins have become a popular tradition in law enforcement as well as among military branches throughout the United Kingdom. Superior officers hand them out to reward those individuals who have displayed incredible feats of courage or success in battle, in missions, and in regular duty. Custom Royal Navy challenge coins display a sense of pride held within each soldier for being a part of such a historic and incredible world power. They are meant to be carried at all times and displayed with honor as a mark of acceptance and appreciation within a select group of soldiers that make up the Royal Navy.
Customization is made easy when working with Signature Coins. A comprehensive list of features and options can be seen on our pricing page, however, some of the aspects of coins design you can expect to control include:
-
Artwork
- If you have artwork ready for us, we can translate it into coin design. If you are not sure what you are looking for, all we need are a couple impressions or ideas to get started. Our experienced staff of designers will create completely original and compelling artwork for your coins free of charge! After submitting a free quote form, we will have your first proof ready within 24 to 48 hours!
-
Color
- We use the Pantone Matching System to maintain consistency across all platforms. Think of it like picking paint chips at a hardware store. We have hundreds of options and can match any designs or color schemes to make artwork blend naturally with pre-existing themes.
-
Size & Shape
- We can work with any size or shape you are looking for. We generally make medallion style coins, however, we also have bottle opener designs, star and shield designs, and unique shapes to match whatever specifications our clients need.
-
Edging
- Custom edging gives challenge coins an extra avenue for unique designs. We have rope edging, spur edging, cross cut edging, and many more!
-
Materials
- We use zinc, brass, and steel in many of our designs to ensure the longevity and dexterity of your coins. There are also plating options like antique gold, silver, or copper and duel plating options. These options can accentuate coin design and add extra flair to the artwork.
These and many more options are all under your control. We offer unlimited revisions on all requested artwork to ensure that you have every opportunity to make your vision a reality! If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call!
Making sure to create original designs is imperative to giving emotional weight to a set of challenge coins. When coins are tailored specifically for a team or squad, they specifically represent the individual merits and achievements of that team. They are a mark of distinguishment for a select group of people in the sometimes overwhelming military machine that is the Royal Navy.
