Albin Johnson is back with a great offer for serving and former members of the 501st Legion, with these gorgeous challenge coins, allowing members to mark 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service to Vader’s Fist, as well as Honorary Members.

Service in the 501st Legion is an honorable distinction. And it never goes away, even when one retires. But some feel forgotten, like their time in the Legion didn’t count. Sure, they’re not on the public roster and they no longer access the forums. But the contribution you make, that’s eternal: you’re Legion for life! Never close the book on that.

Sadly, that’s not always self-evident. So I wanted to offer something that was tangible, something that is irrefutable evidence of our time here. Because some troopers from the early years literally built this Empire, and they should be proud of that. They should have something they can point to as a memento of that. And current members should have something they can boast about as well – I see FB posts all the time about members’ Trooper-versary. Well, let’s celebrate that!

Behold, service coins to mark one’s time in Vader’s Fist. Yes, challenge coins have been here since almost the beginning. But I wanted something that hearkens to the beginning of the club and definitively identified a period of service. That’s why it bears the Fist emblem – it speaks to our origins.

Six different coins, each bearing a service milestone of 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 years. And there’s even one for folks to pick up so they can hand them personally to our Honorary Members/Friends. These coins are available only to active and retired Legion members.

All order information can be found here: https://albinjohnson.com/imperial-service-coins/ As always, email me at trooper.tk210@gmail.com with any questions. Please read the FAQ, as it answers many of the questions we’ve gotten.

I am keeping this run open for the foreseeable future, as the need for these will persist as long as people want them. All proceeds benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
