Reward Excellence

About

Recognition / Award Coins

Commanders, department heads, and business leaders hand out recognition coins for exactly the same reason challenge coins exist in the first place: to mark the individuals who went above and beyond in a way a certificate on a wall never quite does.

A recognition coin can carry your unit or company insignia on the front and an "Excellence" or "Above and Beyond" style back, in whatever finish fits your organization's branding. Order one at a time as recognition comes up, or a batch to keep on hand for the year.

Recognition / Award Coin FAQs

Can the coin carry our insignia on the front and an "Excellence" back?+

Yes. A recognition coin commonly carries your unit or company insignia on the front and an "Excellence" or "Above and Beyond" style back, in whatever finish fits your organization's branding.

Should I order one at a time or a batch to keep on hand?+

Challenge coins have a 25-piece minimum, so most leaders order a batch to keep on hand and present as recognition comes up through the year, which also lowers the per-coin price.

What finish looks the most premium for an award?+

Polished gold with hard enamel and a beveled edge gives a premium, award-grade look. You confirm the finish and edge on your free proof.

Can you match our company or unit colors?+

Yes. We Pantone-match your colors in hard enamel so the coin stays true to your organization's branding across the whole run.

Can you invoice our organization or take a PO?+

Yes. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and purchase orders for organizations and units, and you only pay after you approve the proof.
