Challenge Coins

A challenge coin is a coin (usually 1¾" in diameter if issued by PBEM) bearing an organization's insignia. Historically, challenge coins were presented by military unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They could also be (and still are) exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization. For detailed information on the history of challenge coins, please visit Wikipedia's page on challenge coins. Though challenge coins originated in military service, they have come into common use by public safety organizations such as emergency management. PBEM uses challenge coins as awards in recognition of public safety traditions; and, because they look neat, are collectible, and are easy to design.

PBEM Bureau Challenge Coin

Proof specs of the PBEM Bureau Challenge Coin.

PBEM Bureau Coins are the coins most often awarded to NET volunteers in recognition of excellent contributions to the NET program and community resilience. Each of these coins are individually numbered with the recipient's name, commendations, and award citations recorded on this page.

Specifications: Double-sided, 1¾" in diameter, polished silver with color option. Front: PBEM logo, with the coin number stamped just below. Along the edge, "PORTLAND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT" and "READINESS·RESPONSE·RECOVERY". Reverse: City of Portland seal.

If a PBEM Bureau Challenge Coin is lost or stolen, PBEM will replace it with a new coin that has a different number (old numbers cannot be struck).

A commendation indicates the category of recognition a coin is awarded for, and each coin is awarded for at least one commendation. However, some challenge coin recipients earn recognition more than once. In these cases, instead of issuing another coin, PBEM adds an additional commendation to the coin's number and updates the citation. Below is a table of possible commendations associated with a PBEM Bureau Challenge Coin:
