2026 Gasparilla Challenge Coin

Own a piece of Tampa’s favorite pirate season and support a mission that keeps our community safe. This limited-edition, two-sided challenge coin celebrates Gasparilla 2026 and the FBI Tampa Citizens Academy Alumni Association (FBITCAAA). Front: grinning buccaneer skeleton in tricorn with spyglass over a field of “1s and 0s,” crossed bones, U.S. flag roundel, and compass—ringed in a rope border and anchored by a bold FBITCAAA banner. Back: “GOLD STAR CHAPTER • TAMPA BAY” framing a full-sail galleon on rolling seas with a deckhand greeting from the rail—classic Gasparilla energy in metal. Why collectors love it Striking Tampa iconography: pirate motifs, nautical rope edge, and high-contrast raised/recessed detailing pop in hand. Dual-display design: both sides are showpieces—great for cases, desk mounts, or krewe swaps. Purpose-driven: proceeds help FBITCAAA advance public-safety education and community outreach as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, separate from the FBI. Product details - Solid metal, antique finish with enamel accents - Two-sided, rope-edge coin - Limited edition for the 2026 Gasparilla season - Comes in a protective sleeve for gifting or display - 2" Diameter Impact Your purchase supports programs that build trust and safety through education, workshops, and volunteer service across Tampa Bay. Counterpoint: Prefer a cleaner, minimalist look? This coin leans intentionally bold—pirate-forward and highly detailed—so collectors seeking a subdued style may favor a past-year or plain-field design. If you love statement pieces that tell a Tampa story, this one belongs in your fleet. Bring home the spirit of Gasparilla—before this limited run sails away.
