In this blog, we talk about how these unique and sentimental challenge coins were created with the purpose of promoting a season of peace and nonviolence, leaving a memorable impression on all who received them.

New Significance of Challenge Coins in Non-Profit Sectors

Challenge coins have transcended over decades from just beloved military traditions to tokens of honor in all sectors, including non-profit organizations. These coins have a new meaning in social causes and awareness efforts. Such as in Dayton, Ohio where the annual Season for Nonviolence Conference created custom challenge coins that left a mark amongst recipients, promoting the Season of Nonviolence.

Embodying the Season of Nonviolence with Custom Challenge Coins

Our customer, Terry Oroszi, came to All About Challenge Coins to craft a custom challenge coin that embodied the purpose and history behind the Season of Nonviolence movement. The Season of Nonviolence marks the 64 days between the deaths of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. During this time people all over the world participate in this season by taking a pledge to take daily time to reflect on peace and harmony, and what that means to them.

With their hearts set on peace and unity, they envisioned and in turn created custom challenge coins that amplify the message of the event. These coins were given out at the annual conference where they were lucky enough to have the family members of Gandhi, MLK, and Nelson Mandela speak to audiences.

These coins were also given to FBI agents, public speakers, and even those attending the International Peace Museum. People given these unique and beautiful custom coins were said to be brought to tears by their meaning. Challenge coins leave an impression on all recipients.

Capturing Icons into Copper with these Custom Coins

Each custom challenge coin bore the unique imprint of Terry’s vision, custom crafted to encapsulate the essence of peace and social harmony, the key message of the Season of Nonviolence conference and movement.

These coins were designed with details that carry deep symbolic significance. Using offset printed imaging techniques, these copper coins capture the serene presence of Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, making them powerful symbols embodying the values of nonviolence and compassion and hold great sentiment for people who are gifted them.

The back of these coins bear “A History of Peace in Dayton, Ohio”, the title of a book that discusses the centuries of history from Dayton and the impression that history has made working towards peace.

These coins left a memorable impression about the conference, memorializing an important story, important city, and important event that promotes peace, nonviolence, and harmony.
