The BattleTech '''Challenge Coins''' are a series of thirty circular or pentagonal coins with a black enamel coating that were announced online by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] as a reward item available their crowdfunding effort for the ''[[BattleTech: Clan Invasion]]'' [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/450703636/battletech-clan-invasion Kickstarter campaign]] which ran from 18 July 2019 to August 18 2019. Initially, only a small number of designs were available, but various stretch level goals expanded the range of coin designs available. The stretch goals were all achieved, initially unlocking each of the original Clans selected for [[Operation REVIVAL]], then the Homeworld Clans and [[Great House]]s, followed by two mercenary commands, Clans that had been annihilated or absorbed prior to Operation REVIVAL, and finally [[ComStar]] and the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]. Those coins representing the Clans were pentagonal, while those for Inner Sphere factions were circular. Included as a Great House option was the [[Federated Commonwealth]], and during the Kickstarter process for defining the stretch goals, those pledged at the highest two levels of pledge were consulted on designs to be included.
