Design guide

How to Design Navy Challenge Coins

Navy coins celebrate ships, commands and careers at sea. Ship silhouettes, insignia and traditions like the deckplate give you plenty to work with.

Feature your ship or command

Ship silhouettes, hull numbers and command crests all mint well in raised metal.

Use rank and rate insignia

Chief and petty officer coins often feature rank insignia and the mess or association motto.

Mark the end of a career

Retirement coins can pair the Navy emblem and "I Stood the Watch" with the retiree's name and a personal message on the back.

Try a different shape

Hexagons, rectangles and bottle openers are popular for wardroom and chiefs' mess gifts.

Typical Sizes & Options

Most Navy coins are 1.75" or 2". Rectangular and bottle opener coins are usually larger so the opener has room. Navy blue enamel with polished gold is a classic combination, and antique silver suits deckplate and ship designs.

Navy Challenge Coins FAQ

How much do custom Navy challenge coins cost?

The price of Navy challenge coins depends on size, quantity, number of colors and any options you add. There is a one-time mold fee, from $100 for a 1.5" coin up to $300 for a 3" coin, and the per-coin price drops as your quantity goes up. Our pricing page shows current per-coin prices, or request a free quote for your exact price. Design, your proof and shipping are always free.

What size should our Navy challenge coins be?

Most Navy 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 ship or hull number on the coin?

Yes. Ships, aircraft, hull numbers and command crests can all be minted in raised metal and filled with enamel color. Send a photo or drawing and we'll handle the artwork.

Do you make Navy coins in hexagon or other shapes?

Yes. Hexagon, shield and fully custom shapes are available, along with bottle opener coins for chiefs' and wardroom gifts.
