Start with the office’s star or badge — five, six, and seven-point stars all recreate cleanly at coin size — then add the county name, the state seal or county outline, and the year the office was established. Deputy coins usually carry a motto (“Protect and Serve,” “In God We Trust”) around the rim, and division coins name the unit: court operations, criminal investigation, school resource, dive team, negotiators.
Election and retirement coins add the sheriff’s name and term dates. See real county examples on our sheriff challenge coins page.
