From the Design Desk: The NYPD Pension Fairy Returns!

There are milestones in every police officer's career.

Graduating the Academy. Getting your shield. Making your first collar. Promotions. Assignments. Surviving midnights, bosses, details, paperwork, court appearances and everything else the Job manages to throw at you.

And then, one glorious day…

The Pension Fairy finally arrives.

Back for its third incarnation, the Huntzman NYPD Pension Fairy Challenge Coin celebrates one of the most eagerly anticipated achievements in an NYPD career:

RETIREMENT!

Hello Pension — Goodbye Tension

Measuring 1.75 inches in diameter, the latest Pension Fairy coin features a silver finish with full-color enamel details.

On the front, an NYPD Police Officer shield provides the backdrop for our decidedly unconventional Pension Fairy, complete with wings, wand and the all-important calendar that marks the monthly visit.

Surrounding it is a message understood by generations of cops who finally reached that magical day:

“HELLO PENSION — GOODBYE TENSION.”

Retired… But Still the Finest

The reverse takes a more traditional approach.

At the center is the familiar NYPD shoulder insignia, backed by a stylized green, white and blue design and surrounded by the words: “NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT”

and, perhaps more importantly: “RETIRED, BUT STILL THE FINEST.”

Because handing in the shield doesn't erase the years, experiences, friendships—or pride—that came before it.

The Third Visit From the Pension Fairy

This latest red edition is actually the third version of the Huntzman Pension Fairy coin.

The original edition was produced in blue, followed by a black version. For the third release, we've changed things up again with a bold red outer ring, giving collectors another distinctive variation while preserving the artwork and humor that made the original popular.

Apparently, the Pension Fairy has developed a habit of coming back.

Fortunately, unlike some visitors associated with the Job, this is one you're actually happy to see.

Whether you're already enjoying retirement, getting dangerously close to that final tour, or looking for something for a friend who's about to discover the joys of not having to answer the phone when the Job calls…

The Third Edition NYPD Pension Fairy Challenge Coin is another lighthearted tribute to reaching the finish line.

After all, you earned it.

Hello Pension. Goodbye Tension.
