POPEYEÂ® Chief Petty Officer Challenge Coin

Those who rise to the rank of Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy join a class of elite sailors who distinguish themselves in skill, valor, and the grit necessary to take on any challenge and win. Their achievements are memorialized in this distinctive coin.

The resourcefulness and courage of these warriors is captured in the character Popeye, perhaps America's most famous sailor. Through the pen of cartoonist E.C. Segar, Popeye is best known for slugging down cans of spinach before pummeling anyone who refuses to play fair. Tough-minded, tenacious, and proud to lead by example, Popeye is always ready to project his own power in the defense of freedom and justice. The sailors who claim the prestigious title "Chief" embody that same resilient, fighting spirit and continue to serve as the backbone of the world's mightiest maritime force.

This challenge coin is minted in the USA from special deep-relief coining dies. The obverse features the anchor emblem of the U.S. Navy. The reverse features the classic image of our nation's signature sailor donning the uniform worn by the Navy's Chief Petty Officers and awaiting whatever adventure might lay ahead - forearms bulging, corn cob pipe and smile at the ready. Struck from solid bronze and hand-finished with an antique patina for exceptional quality and detail, the meticulous workmanship of the design is accented in rich enamel color.
