Designed for the Communications and Information Systems Course (CIS-C) at HMAS Cerberus, this challenge coin represents the next generation of Navy communicators — operating in the unseen, complex, and critical battlespace of information.
The obverse features a bold classical warrior profile, symbolising discipline, knowledge, and the foundation of naval service forged at Cerberus. Clean geometric detailing and antique gold finishes give the coin a timeless, institutional feel.
The reverse brings the identity of CIS-C to life — a fierce angler fish emerging from the depths, representing dominance in the dark, unseen domain of communications and electronic warfare. With its illuminated lure cutting through the deep, it reflects the role of CIS operators: finding, connecting, and controlling information where others cannot.
Finished with high-detail colour enamel and a premium antique metal border, this coin is built to stand as both a memento of course completion and a symbol of capability.
A piece that marks where it all begins — and what you become.
