Celebrating Delta’s 100-Year Journey with a Custom Challenge Coin

A hundred years is more than a milestone. It is a legacy built flight by flight, generation by generation. To honor that achievement, Delta marked its centennial with a custom challenge coin designed to reflect its history, progress, and forward momentum.

Created in partnership with Signature Coins, this commemorative piece captures both where Delta began and where it is headed next.

Honoring a Century of Aviation Excellence

The front of the coin celebrates Delta’s 100-year journey with bold, modern design elements that reflect growth and innovation. Featuring aircraft imagery and the message “Keep Climbing,” the design reinforces Delta’s long-standing commitment to leadership in aviation.

Rich blue tones paired with clean metallic accents create a striking visual that feels contemporary while still honoring the airline’s heritage. The centennial dates frame the design, grounding the coin in its historical significance.

A Reverse Design Focused on the Future

While the front honors the past, the reverse side looks ahead. Centered around the message “100 Years of Powering the Future,” the back design reinforces Delta’s continued vision and impact beyond its first century.

A brushed antique silver background adds depth and contrast, allowing raised elements and detailed logos to stand out clearly. The balance of polished and recessed areas gives the coin a refined, premium feel that matches the importance of the occasion.

Crafted with Purpose and Precision

This coin was produced at a 2-inch size, striking the ideal balance between detail and presentation. The format allows the artwork to remain clear and impactful while keeping the coin easy to display, carry, and share.

Raised and recessed antique silver metal finishes create depth and texture, while UV printing delivers crisp color accuracy and clean transitions. Every production choice was made intentionally to ensure the coin feels substantial, collectible, and worthy of the milestone it represents.

A Lasting Symbol of Achievement

Centennial coins like this serve a purpose beyond celebration. They become keepsakes. They are shared, displayed, and remembered as symbols of pride and accomplishment.

For Delta, this coin represents more than a date on a timeline. It captures a century of innovation, teamwork, and perseverance while setting the stage for the future ahead.
