Virginia Challenge Coins
Return to Where it All Started With Virginia Challenge Coins
Virginia was the very first colony of the Americas. In those days, the territory spread across the entire coastal region from South Carolina to Maine, plus the island of Bermuda. It’s safe to say that without the Virginia colony, the America we know wouldn’t exist. The birthplace of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, as well as six other U.S. Presidents, Virginia’s heightened place in American history is undisputed. To celebrate that history as well as the present, look no further than location challenge coins.
United States challenge coins exist to honor the people and places that best highlight the spirit and fortitude of this great nation. They’ve been used to recognize the hard work and dedication of employees by top tier companies, to celebrate accomplishments from men and women in the armed forces, and to recognize the selflessness of people in law enforcement. When celebrating the grand history of Virginia, be sure to include these cities in your challenge coin design:
- Virginia Beach
- Norfolk
- Chesapeake
- Richmond
- Newport News
- Alexandria
- Hampton
- Portsmouth
- Roanoke
- Suffolk

Government and Military Virginia Challenge Coins
With Maryland just across the Potomac River, the nation’s capital is a short drive away from the cities in the northern reaches of Virginia. This makes the commonwealth a natural location for the headquarters of a number of federal agencies. Government challenge coins are found in a great many different government organizations where they are used primarily as tokens of respect or distributed to employees to build group cohesion.
The area is also host to a number of military bases for each branch of the U.S. Military. Agencies at every level of U.S. Government have rushed to make a home in the oldest American colony. Military challenge coins are where the great tradition began. All the way back in WWI, a commanding officer had unit challenge coins minted for the soldiers in his unit. The practice quickly spread throughout the branches of military and eventually leaked into government agencies as well.
With Virginia as the primary focus, anyone looking to honor military men and women or government employees within the commonwealth should consider creating challenge coins centered on the following institutions:
- CIA Headquarters in Langley
- FBI Training Academy in Quantico
- Headquarters of the DoD at the Pentagon
- United States Marshals Service
- Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
- Langley Air Force Base
- Fort Belvoir Army Base
- Fort Eustis Army Base
- Naval Station Norfolk
- National Maritime Center
- Training Center Yorktown Coast Guard Base
- Henderson Hall Marine Corps Base
- Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico
- Naval Amphibious Base in Norfolk
- Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren
- Surface Combat Systems Center Wallops Island
- Fort Lee Army Base
- Fort Pickett Virginia Army National Guard Base
- Warrenton Training Center Army Base
- Fort A. P. Hill Army Base

Challenge Coin Examples
Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge Coins
Law enforcement challenge coins have a lot in common with military challenge coins. These coins are created with a specific unit or department in mind. They can be presented to rookies joining the squad, in recognition of a particular achievement or milestone being reached, or even upon the completion of a long and successful career as a retirement gift.
In addition to the numerous government agencies and military bases in the commonwealth, most of which offer their own policing and security, there are a number of both public and private police agencies within the borders. The brave men and women serving their community by way of being part of the long tradition of law enforcement deserve to have their hard work and bravery recognized with Virginia challenge coins.
Some of the agencies that can be singled out with their very own police challenge coins include:
- Virginia Port Authority Police
- Virginia State Police
- Virginia State Parks Police
- Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel District Police Department
- Arlington County Sheriff’s Office
- Roanoke County Sheriff’s Office
- Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office
- Norfolk Police Department
- Alexandria Police Department
- Richmond Police Department
- University of Virginia Police Department
- Aquia Harbour Police Department
- Babcock & Wilcox Police Department
- Kings Dominion Park Police Department
- Norfolk Southern Railway Police
Law enforcement challenge coins from Signature Coins often take advantage of our shape and size customization options. While the classic disc shape continues to be standard for a lot of challenge coin orders, members of law enforcement are increasingly opting for challenge coins shaped like police shields, sheriff’s badges and other crests specific to the department.
