British Army Units
The British Army is a large force comprised of 112,000 experienced, committed and highly skilled Regular and Reserve soldiers. They serve their country with distinction and honor while being deployed around the world for a multitude of different reasons. Granting them British Army challenge coins increases their morale and increases unity amongst members of specific units.
The structure of the British Army is hierarchical with divisions and brigades responsible for administering groupings of smaller units. These units are unique in their tasks, accomplishments, personnel, and equipment. The options for creating custom challenge coins for these specific units are as varied as the insignia, mottos and people serving within them tend to be.
Some of the units found within the British Army that could benefit from their own custom challenge coins include:
- 1 Armoured Infantry Brigade — comprised of armoured, mechanized and light role troops.
- 1 Armoured Medical Regiment — comprised of troops offering emergency and non-emergency medical and dental care to soldiers.
- 167 Catering Support Regiment — The role of this unique regiment of Army Reserve Chefs is to provide the British Army catering support anywhere in any environment.
- 38 (Irish) Brigade —a light role infantry brigade within the Adaptable Force.

Unique Plating Options for Your British Army Challenge Coins
We have dozens of features that can easily be added to your challenge coin.
As you make the choices needed to create the best possible challenge coins for the members of your unit, a lot of different factors will go into your final decision. With Signature Coins, you’ve got a large selection of customization options.
One of the easiest ways to ensure your coins stand out is with these unique coin plating options:
- Antique Gold-- This is the most popular plating style for custom challenge coins. The recessed areas will have a slightly darker finish when compared to the raised areas. Antique plating helps to show text in higher relief and shows less wear and tear over time.
- High Polish Gold-- The classiest and most expensive looking plating option, high polish gold coins will have the same high polish finish on both the raised and recessed areas of the coin.
- Antique Silver-- With a lot of the same benefits as the antique gold option, antique silver plating looks very similar to antique pewter, giving your coin a sense of age.
- High Polish Silver-- Another one of the more popular options, each high polish silver coin is hand dipped in real silver plating and then polished to a very high polished shine.
- Copper-- Copper can be a great, unique way to make your challenge coin stand out from the rest. Both raised and recessed areas have the same level of high polish finish.
- Black Metal-- There are an automatic strength and distinctness to black metal coins. Since the color of most coins has a metallic look to it, black metal really stands apart and increases the color contrasts almost by default.
- Antique Nickel-- Fairly new to the plating game, antique nickel plating looks very similar to a gunmetal which gives the coin a very durable look.
- Black Nickel-- Where the finish of a black metal coin can look smooth and uniform, black nickel offers an interesting matte finish contrast.
Whatever options you choose, we know your soldiers will be honored to be presented with their custom challenge coins. And you’ll be impressed with our top-tier customer service and high-quality final product.
