USS Nitze DDG-94 3 Elongated Destroyer Challenge Coin. This premium elongated challenge coin features the crest of the USS Nitze (DDG-94), an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer commissioned in 2005 and named after Paul Nitze, former Secretary of the Navy. Unlike standard 1.5-1.75 round coins, this piece is a custom die-cut elongated format measuring approximately 3 inches in length. Off-shape coins require unique molds and are typically produced in far smaller quantities, making them more distinctive and display-forward than traditional circular issues. The obverse showcases the detailed USS Nitze crest with hard enamel coloration, including the eagle, shield, demi-trident, chain, and stars representing Paul Nitze’s distinguished service and strategic legacy. Rope-style border framing both sides. Antique brass finish. Multi-color enamel crest. Custom elongated die profile. Coins of this size and format are less common on the secondary market, and currently no active comparable listings are available. Approximate dimensions: 3 x 1 inches (see photos for verification). ?
