How to Design Police Challenge Coins
A good police coin looks like it belongs to your department. Start with what officers already wear and recognize, then add the details that make it yours.
Build around your badge or patch
Your badge, shoulder patch or department seal is the natural centerpiece. We redraw it for minting so the lettering stays sharp, and the coin itself can even be cut to the shape of your badge.
Use the back for your units
Many departments put the main emblem on the front and use the back for K-9, SWAT, traffic or community units, or for core values like integrity and service.
Thin blue line details
A thin blue line flag behind the badge is a simple way to add color, and it works well with both gold and silver metal.
Honor the fallen
Memorial coins often add a kneeling officer, a rose or the names and end-of-watch dates of fallen officers.
Typical Sizes & Options
Most departments choose 1.75" or 2", which leaves room for a badge with readable text around the edge. Go to 2.5" if the back lists several units or names. Polished gold and antique silver are both popular, and a diamond cut or rope edge adds a finished look. Bottle opener and badge-shaped coins are quoted on request.

State highway patrol
A trooper badge sits over the outline of the state with the troop and county around the edge. The back shows the city skyline and mountains with the local university's orange T, a nod to where the troop serves.
Airport police chief
Cut in the shape of an airplane, this chief's coin carries the chief's title on a blue band. The back turns the plane into a thin blue line flag with the airport police patch and the chief's motto.

Police Challenge Coins FAQ
How much do custom police challenge coins cost?
The price of police 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 police challenge coins be?
Most police 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 put our badge or patch on a police coin?
Yes. We can reproduce your badge, patch, star or department seal in raised metal with enamel color, and even cut the coin to the shape of your badge. You'll approve a full-color proof first.
What do police departments use challenge coins for?
Departments use coins to recognize officers, welcome academy graduates, honor fallen officers, mark promotions and anniversaries, and thank community partners.
How long does it take to get police challenge coins?
Once you approve your proof and say “Go!”, most orders arrive within 2 weeks, shipped free by air. If you need coins for an academy graduation, promotion or department anniversary, give us the date when you request your quote and we'll plan around it. Allow extra time from June through August, our busiest season.
