PCSN Challenge Coins were developed for the #Revive2020 PCSN conference held in Wellington. These special coins were minted to help celebrate the significance of the launch of the first ever specific Bible for Police and the first ever conference at the Royal New Zealand Police College. This is a beautifully minted coin that comes in gold or silver and its value and relevance is not limited to the 2020 conference.
On the obverse side of the coin, the top banner says, ‘NEW ZEALAND POLICE’ and the bottom banner says, ‘NGA PIRIHIMANA O AOTEAROA’ surrounding the Police crest. On the reverse side of the coin, the top banner says, ‘POLICE CHRISTIAN SUPPORT NETWORK’, with ‘EST 05’ on the centre sides, and the bottom banner says, ‘MATTHEW 5 v 9’. This is a significant verse for Police which says ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.’ In side of these words is the PCSN emblem with ‘TO SUPPORT’ on top and ‘TO EMPOWER’ beneath. These values are the two key supporting pillars and focus of the Police Christian Support Network.
The Police Christian Support Network is a voluntary grassroots network with no funding base apart from donations. Therefore purchasing one or more of these challenge coins is a great way to support the PCSN and assist with ongoing costs. Each coin costs $25 and can be ordered through ‘The Cop Shop’.
Small PCSN pins to go on vests and clothing are also available in gold or silver (as pictured beneath and in the banner above). These can be ordered by filling out the form beneath. The pins are available with a suggested koha of between $5-$10 to help cover costs (pay into bank account number: 03-1796-0383311-000 - reference ‘pins’ and your name).
