Coast Guard Racing Stripe Challenge Coin

US Coast Guard "Racing to the Rescue" Challenge Coin. This Coin is 1.75 diameter or 44mm, .140 Thick or (9/65) and weights 0.9 ounces. The Coast Guard Racing Stripe, a distinctive symbol painted on the side of Coast Guard vessels, has become an emblem of pride and tradition for the service. This iconic design, sometimes referred to as a "slash," was introduced in the 1960s and has since been a visual identity for the U.S. government's maritime security service. Challenge coins featuring this symbol are not just collectibles but tokens of honor, respect, and devotion to duty. They are often used to recognize achievements and mark membership within the service. These coins embody the core values of the Coast Guard and serve as a tangible reminder of a service member's commitment to their role in ensuring the nation's safety and security. Whether for active duty members, reservists, or veterans, these challenge coins are a cherished keepsake, symbolizing a shared bond and a steadfast readiness to serve. The tradition of challenge coins is deeply rooted in military history, and the Coast Guard Racing Stripe coins continue this legacy, celebrating the unique heritage and valiant service of the United States Coast Guard.
