Military challenge coins represent more than rank or assignment—they're powerful tokens of honor, achievement, and camaraderie. Whether you’ve earned them through years of service or collected them in tribute to others, these coins deserve to be preserved and showcased with pride.
At Better Display Cases, we offer premium acrylic display cases designed to protect your military challenge coins while presenting them in a sleek, professional way. If you’re wondering how to showcase your coins with style, here are creative case solutions tailored for collectors, veterans, and families alike.
Why Use a Display Case for Challenge Coins?
Leaving challenge coins out in the open can lead to:
-
Scratches, tarnish, and fading from light exposure
-
Accidental loss or damage
-
Disorganization or clutter
Our significantly UV-protected acrylic display cases solve all of these problems by offering:
-
Clear 360° visibility
-
Durable, shatter-resistant acrylic construction
-
Customizable riser options for color coordination
-
Compact sizing that’s ideal for desks, mantels, or wall mounts
🛡️ Protect the legacy behind your coins with the right case from BetterDisplayCases.com.
1. Single-Coin Acrylic Display Case for Centerpiece Coins
If you have a particularly special or rare coin—such as one received for valor, retirement, or presidential service—it deserves its own dedicated case.
🡆 Our collectibles display cases are ideal for custom one-off setups.
Creative Touch:
-
Use a mirror base to reflect the engraving and edges
-
Choose a black or white base for a clean, formal presentation
-
Add a custom nameplate to share the coin’s background and significance
2. Multi-Coin Display with Adjustable Risers
For larger coin collections, you can display several at once using a multi-coin acrylic case. These allow you to group coins by unit, branch, or time period—all in one cohesive setup.
🡆 Use our search-by-size tool to find the right dimensions for your coin arrangement.
Creative Touch:
-
Stack coins upright using acrylic easels or small risers
-
Alternate riser colors (gold, silver, black, etc.) to indicate different military branches
-
Arrange coins by chronology to tell a visual story of service
3. Shadowbox-Style Military Wall Display
Don’t hide your coins away—turn them into wall art. Use a wall-mounted acrylic case to create a floating effect while protecting coins from dust and UV light.
🡆 See our wall-mounted display cases for inspiration.
Why it works:
-
Keeps coins at eye level and away from accidental handling
-
Ideal for creating a centerpiece above a desk, mantle, or display shelf
-
Allows room for adding medals, unit patches, or flags alongside the coins
4. Pair with a Folded Flag Case for Tribute Displays
Challenge coins make a powerful addition to a folded flag memorial display. This pairing is ideal for commemorating a loved one’s service or honoring your own military journey.
🡆 Shop flag and military display cases to build your tribute.
Creative Touch:
-
Position coins at the base of the flag for a unified look
-
Include other memorabilia like pins, ribbons, or rank insignia
-
Add a plaque or nameplate with name, service dates, and branch
5. Rotating Coin Displays for Collectors
If you have a large collection and limited space, consider creating seasonal or rotating displays. Showcase a few challenge coins at a time and switch them out throughout the year.
Why it works:
-
Protects coins from long-term light exposure
-
Keeps your display fresh and engaging
-
Allows you to highlight different aspects of your military history or collection focus
🡆 Better Display Cases makes it easy to swap displays thanks to lightweight, durable acrylic construction.
