2007 U-2 Challenge Coin Contest Winner

A blast from last May 2007, when a challenge coin design won the contest at U.S. Challenge Coins for best design. They offered a contest for the winner to receive a free mint of the design and 20 copies to do whatever with. The winner was this coin that represents the U-2 from Beale AFB, CA. The coin is laced with 3D and high polish gold plating. Needless to say the end result is amazing for this 1.75” coin. Besides with only 50 in existence how can you not afford to pick one up.
This coin has never seen any kind of mass production line. The U-2 is special as any Airman knows since there isn’t many places that operated them in history. Beale was one of the lucky host bases. The aircraft are special from the fuel they use to the job they perform and their breed of challenge coins certainly go above and beyond when you do happen to get one.
