Fernet Branca Coin Design Challenge Deadline: 17th April 2020
Being keenly aware that the bar industry is in a state of flux, and that more than ever bar folk need to feel part of a community, Fernet-Branca have launched a competition that will result in the design of their new 2020 UK coin, and cash vouchers being handed out to over 100 entrants.
For the uninitiated, Fernet-Branca have been making ‘challenge’ coins since 2010. The coins are produced in small numbers and can’t be bought, they are given to individuals by Fernet, or other coin-bearers. The challenge part is simple – you must always keep your coin about your person. If another coin-bearer shows you their coin, and you are unable to produce your own, you buy a round of drinks. If you do have your coin, the challenger pays.
Of course, the real value to the Fernet-Branca coins is that they signify belonging to a club or a community of bartenders, which is why Fernet have launched the design challenge now – at a time when everyone needs to feel a part of the global bar community.
