Vince Lombardi Legend 1913-1970 Green Bay Packers Bart Starr Commemorative Challenge Coin

Why the Vince Lombardi Legend 1913-1970 Green Bay Packers Bart Starr Commemorative Challenge Coin is a Must-Have

The Vince Lombardi Legend 1913-1970 Green Bay Packers Bart Starr Commemorative Challenge Coin honours the man whose name sits on the trophy every NFL franchise plays for. Lombardi took over a 1-10-1 Packers side in 1959, turned them into a five-time NFL champion in seven seasons between 1961 and 1967, and won the first two Super Bowls ?” Super Bowl I against Kansas City in January 1967 at the LA Memorial Coliseum and Super Bowl II against Oakland a year later in Miami ?” before stepping down from coaching in 1968 and passing away from cancer in September 1970. Bart Starr ran his huddle through all of it: the Hall of Fame quarterback who threw the QB sneak behind Jerry Kramer in the Ice Bowl on 31 December 1967 at minus-13 degrees in Green Bay to send the Packers to Super Bowl II. The NFL renamed the championship trophy after Lombardi in 1971, a year after his death. This challenge coin pins the coach-and-quarterback partnership that started the Lombardi Trophy legacy onto a single piece of metal.

The challenge coin is struck in bright polished gold with a raised colour relief scene at centre ?” Lombardi on the left in his trademark tan trench coat and brown fedora hat, dark-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, both hands raised mid-instruction the way he was caught hundreds of times on the City Stadium sideline. To his right stands Bart Starr in the classic Packers home green jersey with the yellow shoulder yoke and number 15 stamped in white on the chest, the gold Packers helmet with the green “G” decal on the side, gold trousers and his hands on his hips in the pre-snap listening pose. Behind them rises a colour relief of old Lambeau Field ?” the open-bowl stadium with the goalpost uprights and a brown leather football floating above the scene in the upper register. Centre-foreground sits a silver Lombardi Trophy with the trademark football-on-pedestal silhouette. A “Vince Lombardi” cursive autograph banner runs underneath the trophy in raised gold script. Twin brown leather vintage leather helmets ?” the kind from the 1920s-1940s era when Lombardi played for Fordham ?” sit raised on either side at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions. X’s-and-O’s playbook diagrams in raised gold cover the lower-left and lower-right quadrants. The outer rim is stamped “VINCE LOMBARDI LEGEND” across the top arch in raised gold lettering and “1913-1970” across the bottom arch, the years of his birth in Brooklyn and his passing in Washington DC. The coin finishes with a beveled rim, knurled milled edge and a heavy struck-metal weight that gives it the feel of an actual military challenge coin rather than a flat commemorative token.

Set it on the desk in a clear display case next to a framed Ice Bowl programme, hand it across as a Father’s Day gift to a Wisconsin dad who watched the Lombardi-era championships on a black-and-white TV in the 1960s, or give it as a Christmas piece to a Packers season-ticket holder who’s been on the Lambeau Field wait-list since the Bart Starr coaching years in the 1970s. Also lines up as a coaching-clinic gift for a high school football staff that runs the Lombardi Power Sweep as a base play.
