USN Texas Challenge Coin Description

USN Texas Challenge Coin

Honor Service. Celebrate Legacy. Preserve Lone Star Naval Heritage.

This USN Texas Challenge Coin is a premium collectible inspired by the ships and sailors who have carried the name of the Lone Star State into battle across two centuries of naval history. Featuring iconic imagery—the legendary dreadnought USS Texas (BB-35) with her mighty 14-inch guns, or the modern Virginia-class submarine USS Texas (SSN-775) with the shape of the state of Texas on her hull backed by the Texas Rangers badge—this coin embodies the core values of Readiness, Courage, and Unyielding Spirit that define the Navy’s Texas legacy .

The name USS Texas represents two distinct naval legacies. The battleship USS Texas (BB-35) is a New York-class dreadnought launched in 1912 and commissioned in 1914, making her the only remaining World War I-era dreadnought battleship in existence . She served in both World Wars, earned five battle stars for her WWII service, provided gunfire support at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and set a record during D-Day by firing 255 14-inch shells in just 34 minutes . Today she rests as a museum ship near Houston and was the first battleship declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark . The Virginia-class attack submarine USS Texas (SSN-775) was commissioned in 2006 and continues to serve with distinction, her state-shaped hull and nuclear symbol representing the awesome power and endurance of the silent service . This coin honors their service—from the gun decks of the “Mighty T” to the silent depths of the submarine force.

Product Features

Premium Quality: High-grade zinc alloy or brass with antique gold, antique silver, or gold-plated finishes, substantial thickness (4mm), and high-relief 3D surfaces for lasting durability
