Origins of 'The Sports Coin'

In 1965, during the Vietnam War, Commanding Officers were allocated 50 Challenge coins to be awarded to soldiers who showed an act of bravery and courage during challenging times.

​

During the 1970’s, major U.S. sports organisations such as Nascar, NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB explored an opportunity to commercialise the 'challenge coin' and launch their own organisation branded coins to mark special occasions and events.

 

The Zenith Coin

We use the same traditional methods of production and retain the exact weight and dimensions since they were first established. Each coin we produce is 44mm x 3mm and made from premium brass. All of our coins have a special plating such as gold, silver or antique bronze.

 

The challenge coin is a well-known symbol of appreciation and respect amongst major military and service based organisations across the world.
