Hotspur Launches SOLDIER Line with Coin

Thursday, May 14th, 2026

To mark the launch of the new SOLDIER brand at the recent British Army RSM conference, Hotspur commissioned an exclusive coin and pin badge set for the occasion.

Each coin case was wrapped in a black outer card with silver hot foiling for the SOLDIER brand. We are tired of plain white card wraps that offer no branding or presence.

The case inside was covered in a camouflage pattern to match the event. We believe this is yet another design first from Hotspur. The SOLDIER brand is hot foiled into the lid for a touch of quality. The inside of the lid is also hot foiled with a quote to add to the overall impact. This can be an image, logo or writing.

The limited edition coin and pin badge were presented inside the box along with a mini catalogue designed specifically for the event. The feedback from the RSM’s present was very positive!

If you are considering a coin and/or pin badge project of any type, please contact us for a quote. There are no minimum numbers required and turn around is approx three weeks. We can look after all design and modelling for you with no extra / hidden charges.

Please contact us directly to discuss options:

Washington Crosses The Delaware

Thursday, December 25th, 2025

On Christmas night in 1776, General George Washington led American patriots across the Delaware River to attack the Hessian mercenary garrison at Trenton, New Jersey; a force which was fighting for the British.

You’ve likely seen Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, painted in 1851, aspirational to be sure, but modern artist Mort Kunstler created a much more likely depiction of events in his 2011 painting entitled, Washington’s Crossing.

It was an audacious plan; take a force of 5400, including artillery, conduct a nighttime river crossing in a storm, and with the ultimate element of surprise, attack a sleeping enemy. A force of 2400 Continental troops made the crossing, but 3,000 troops and the artillery so crucial to the plan remained stranded on the wrong side of the Delaware. Regardless, Washington pressed the attack, striking out toward his prey and at 8:00 AM met the enemy. Fortune favors the bold; the defenders were still groggy from their Weinachtsfest, with many slumbering soundly in bed.

Miraculously, only three Americans were killed, while over 1000 Hessians were captured with 22 killed and 98 wounded. Unfortunately, without his additional force, Washington was forced to withdraw. But the psychological victory stoked faith in the revolution.

I can only think of one better Christmas story than George Washington crossing the Delaware in the middle of a stormy night in order to kill German mercenaries.
