Shellback – “Crossed the Line” Challenge Coin

$25.00

Awarded only once, earned forever.
The Shellback – Crossed the Line challenge coin commemorates one of the most time-honoured naval traditions: crossing the Equator. Featuring a detailed sea turtle at its centre, this coin represents the transformation from Pollywog to Shellback — a rite of passage shared by sailors across generations.

Designed with layered depth, bold contrast, and premium finishes, this coin is purpose-built for metal, not print. From the rope-style border to the compass detailing and raised lettering, every element is engineered to strike clean, feel substantial, and last a lifetime.

This is not a souvenir.
It’s a marker of experience.
