PLANNED RUNLimited first edition

THE IDEA

A coin with a reason to exist.

Challenge coins matter because of the story attached to them. Series I is intended to recognize the people who wore the red hat, built under pressure, and stayed RED HORSE long after the assignment ended.

It will use entirely original artwork. No official seals, unit emblems, patches, or borrowed government designs—and no suggestion of Air Force endorsement.

ROUND ONE · STYLE DIRECTION

Choose what the coin should feel like.

This vote selects the overall visual language—not finished artwork. The strongest direction will be refined for manufacturability and returned to the community for final review.
