Create Custom Police Challenge Coins for Your Department
A police challenge coin is a custom coin made for police departments, law enforcement agencies, and their units. It is commonly used for officer recognition, important events, department representation, or as a keepsake for a specific occasion.
Academy Graduation
Given to officers after completing their training.
Officer Recognition
Used for bravery, outstanding service, or a specific contribution.
Retirement
Officer name, badge number, years of service, retirement date, or a personal message.
Promotion
New rank insignia, department name, rank, or promotion date.
Memorial
Made to honor an officer who died in the line of duty.
Recruitment & Outreach
Commonly used at recruitment events and community activities.
Unit-Specific
SWAT, K-9, narcotics, motorcycle units, and other specialized divisions.
Almost every police challenge coin includes some type of badge, seal, shield, or other core identity element. Thin Blue Line, Archangel Michael, and scales of justice are also commonly seen, especially on coins made for law enforcement departments. Specialized coins often have their own recognizable elements, such as a K-9 dog's paw print or silhouette, or a skull design on tactical unit coins to represent courage and resilience.
Most police challenge coins use designs on both sides. The main department or unit identity is usually placed on the front. The back can include a motto, unit information, recognition message, date, or other commemorative details.

Need more information? Check out our full FAQ page here.
Need different names or numbers on individual coins?
Our representative will discuss with you where to leave space on the police challenge coin for these individual details. In most cases, we use laser engraving for this type of personalization. For simple laser engraving, we provide the service free of charge. This works well for adding individual names, badge numbers, or other short personal information to each coin.
Is custom packaging available for police challenge coins?
Yes, of course. You can have your logo, text, badge, or other artwork printed or added to the packaging. We can handle the packaging customization for you, or you can work with your own packaging supplier if you already have one. Either way, we can have the coins placed into their individual packaging and packed together for shipment.
The cost of custom packaging will also be listed separately in your quote, so you can clearly see the price of each part of your order.
Can you make a challenge coin from an existing coin or an old department design?
If you have an old coin or an existing department badge, it will usually make the design process easier. And if you want to make some changes to the original design, that’s completely fine too. We’ll create a new design based on your requirements, so you can clearly see what the updated coin will look like.
We only start production after you confirm the final design. So in theory, you can keep making changes to the artwork until you’re happy with it.
