Description

The Shellback US Navy Challenge Coin commemorates the esteemed tradition of crossing the Equator, a significant milestone in naval culture known as the Shellback ceremony. This coin pays homage to sailors who have braved the journey across this imaginary line, transforming them from lowly Pollywogs to esteemed Shellbacks.

At the heart of the coin lies the imposing figure of King Neptune, depicted with regal splendor wearing a coral crown and sea star, seated upon his legendary conch shell throne. Surrounding him are symbols of maritime lore, including crossed tridents and vigilant mermaids guarding the sanctity of the deep sea. The inscription “Ancient Order Of The Deep” encapsulates the solemnity and time-honored traditions of the Shellback ritual.

The Shellback ceremony is a rite of passage deeply ingrained in naval tradition, symbolizing the crossing from the domain of the inexperienced Pollywogs to the esteemed status of Shellbacks. Sailors undergo a series of challenges and rituals, often involving mock trials, ceremonies, and tests of courage, culminating in their initiation into the ancient order. Each Shellback coin is sequentially numbered, serving as a tangible memento of this profound experience and a symbol of camaraderie among those who have undergone the journey together.

    Purchased this when it was on back order, but it was worth the wait. Extremely high quality coins. Only wish I knew it was on back order prior to purchasing, but they did email me immediately giving me an option for a refund, another coin or to wait for this one. I chose to wait and regret nothing.
