Wyoming Challenge Coins
Admitted into the country as the 44th state and home to Yellowstone National Park and the site of Independence Rock, Wyoming hosts some of the nation’s most iconic natural heritage including mountains ranges, plateaus, rugged forests. Wyoming challenge coins are often influenced by the state’s wealth of iconic natural symbols and traditional elements including the state seal or motto; “Equal Rights.”
Culturally, Wyoming is known to host a strong rodeo culture inspiring the state nickname “the Cowboy State.” Throughout Wyoming’s borders, cattle ranches and genuine cowboys can be seen working pastures and wide swathes of territory. The state’s wealth of natural resources begets a strong mining tradition and a bustling tourism industry attracting outdoors adventurers combing over the hills, forests, and mountains of the state’s national parks.

Wyoming Military Challenge Coins
The practice of giving and exchanging challenge coins originated from the military where commanders would commission unique coins to be given out to outstanding servicemembers in recognition of their service or units would commission unique challenge coins to represent membership in their unit or organization. Gifting challenge coins is a tradition that continues to be maintained throughout military organizations and bases located in Wyoming.
Military challenge coins in Wyoming often incorporate the symbols, insignias, and organizational mottos of their organization. However, Wyoming military challenge coins often also incorporate many symbols of state pride including the Wyoming State Flag, the State Seal, or mascots of state animals like bison or horned toads.
Wyoming military organizations and installations include:
- Francis E. Warren Air Force Base - Home to the 90th Missile Wing whose motto is “Ready to fight ... Anytime, Anywhere.”

Wyoming Law Enforcement Challenge Coins
One of the first institutions to adopt challenge coins were law enforcement agencies, police officers and other staff commissioning unit coins recognizing their specific roles and responsibilities to the public. Law enforcement challenge coins are commissioned by law enforcement officials to build the morale of their departments and represent the individual roles in protecting the public. Wyoming challenge coins include team-specific imagery like insignias, mission statements, and department codes. Each is a symbol of culture and heritage within their organizations representing the core values of honor, dedication, and integrity.
With almost half of the state protected by the government as National Parks, one of the most important law enforcement organizations in Wyoming are the State Park Rangers who protect the huge swathes of wilderness and mountain terrain in Wyoming. Not only stationed at Yellowstone National Park, Park Rangers are responsible for protecting over a dozen different national parks and historical sites spread throughout the State of Wyoming.
Major law enforcement organizations in the State of Wyoming include:
- Wyoming Park Rangers
- Wyoming Highway Patrol
- Cheyenne Police Department

Wyoming Firefighter Challenge Coins
Charged with saving lives and preventing both natural fires and arson from spreading, firefighters represent a disciplined force of professionals who protect the public. This is especially the case in Wyoming where wildfires are common stemming from both natural and human-caused sources. Wyoming’s dry vegetation and warm air make it a hotbed for rapidly growing wildfires that can sometimes grow to cover hundreds of thousands of acres as was the case of the Yellowstone Fires of 1988.
Stemming the tide of flame are Wyoming’s professional firefighter departments who receive specialized training to identify and deal with fire emergencies all over the state. Several departments are stationed at key locations throughout the state’s national parks to quickly identify and address dangerous wildfires. Recognizing their role in preventing fires and building department unity are firefighter challenge coins often minted with insignias and emblems of their organization such as the Maltese cross or state symbols such as Wyoming’s state insignia.
- Wyoming Fire Departments include:
- Alpine Fire Department
- Yellowstone Fire Department
- Cheyenne Fire Rescue
- Hope Valley Wyoming Fire District
- Glenrock Fire Department
