Design guide
How to Design Firefighter Challenge Coins
Fire service coins have a strong visual language: Maltese crosses, apparatus, helmets and station numbers. Use it, then add the history that's unique to your company.
Start with the Maltese cross
Put your station number, company name or department initials inside a Maltese cross for an instantly recognizable design.
Show your apparatus or firehouse
A vintage engine, today's ladder truck or your historic station makes a striking design, especially in sculpted antique metal.
Celebrate your history
Founding years and anniversaries make great coins. List the years of service, or the townships your company protects.
Recognize your people
Coins for promotions, retirements, lifesavers and the union local all carry special weight in the firehouse.
Typical Sizes & Options
Most firefighter coins are 1.75" or 2". Choose 2.5" for detailed apparatus or a firehouse scene. Polished gold with red enamel is a classic, antique silver suits volunteer and memorial coins, and diamond cut or rope edges add a finishing touch.

What size should our firefighter challenge coins be?
Most firefighter challenge coins are 1.75" or 2", big enough for a crest, a motto and a name without crowding. Choose 1.5" for a simple design or a lower price, or 2.5" to 3" when you want lots of detail or a coin that stands out in a presentation case.
Can you include our Maltese cross, engine or station number?
Yes. Maltese crosses, apparatus, station numbers, union locals and department mottos are all common on firefighter coins. Send what you have and our designers will do the rest.
