The new 2024 East/West challenge coins are here. To say we're thrilled with the new design would be an understatement! About the design: The coin proudly features a robust Red, White, and Blue patriotic theme. The American Flag and American Eagle on the back symbolize our nation's strength, unity, and liberty, core values that resonate with both military personnel and civilians. Our mission statement, 'Saving Aircrew Lives Is Our First Concern,' is stamped on the outer edge, separated by two silver stars. The silver stars represent the courage, commitment, dedication, and sacrifice of our Armed Forces. The coin's front face features East/West's branding, tagline (also separated by two silver stars), and the year the company was founded. The coin is well-weighted, balanced, comfortable to hold and fiddle with, and will stand out in any display case. We're excited about our new challenge coin. Please feel free to comment below to let us know your thoughts. Thank you. #challengecoin #challengecoincollector #aerospace #aerospaceengineering #aerospacemanufacturing #flightsafety #savinglives #SavingLivesIsOurPriority
