I've recently received my favorite piece of swag ever from the lovely @Ishira, an Operation Essex coin. As an avid investigator and member of Essex for years, this shot straight up to first place. I sadly wasn't around when those coins were first given out, but I'm happy one made it's way to me.
I'm sure there is other amazing stuff out there, so please share some of your favorite swag with the class :D

I don't have a lot of swag myself but I liked the Japanese Tessellation booklet a lot (on the left in the photo).
I have many great pieces of swag with amazing stories attached, but if I'm forced to pick just one, it is the Osiris victory coin:
Complete with the Osiris glyph, a reminder of the narrow margin by which the victory was achieved, a nod to the transportation element that was key in that victory being modeled after a historic Chicago transit token, the distinctive 6-pointed star of the Chicago flag, and more - the symbolism in the coin is beautifully executed, and the memories it evokes are vivid.
Ohh, that looks nice. Any chance someone from the Enlightened can get their hands on one of those?
If there are any extras floating around I can't see why not - though I would be a little surprised if there were. I only have the one myself, but perhaps @chibri or @ModularModular or someone else may have a line on some extras?
I have a whole box of Ingress swag, but my most prized possessions are the comic Issue #1 signed by Joe Philley, and the little blinky things they used to give away at the meetups. I got this at my first anomaly Cassandra Chicago. I didn't know who Joe was at the time, or anyone really. I just showed up because the Ingress Report said there was a thing in Chicago and it looked cool enough. That experience is what sold me forever on Ingress.
I think this is the most sentimental for me, it is from the Recursion Prime anomaly in Barcelona 2018.
My favorite is probably this RES Coin from the Madison anomaly, was such a fun time and I did the matching banner!
A few agents have made me voodoo dolls over the years. These are two of them.
Unfortunately I think they all sold out, and I don't have extras
Credit to @ModularModular for taking it from a general concept to GORGEOUS design. Unfortunately, we completely sold out of these. (The demand far exceeded what we expected.) I would not be surprised if someone in the swag community had some extras for trade.
Why so many Resistance's swag are offensive towards the enlightenment?
That's a two-way street.
GoRuck patches.
From the first community event I attended
I have a horned cap with all the pins I've collected in all the events I've assisted. Can't provide a picture, but it's nice to watch.
I have two. My first ever Ingress piece of swag, from the first anomaly I ever attended as boots (Abaddon, Hamburg. Nov 2015), and my Vanguard coin :)
MuTang coin! PNW ENL for the win!
I am ENL, and I have seen awesome swag from both factions.
God I hope my latin doesn't fail me, but does the back say "Where there is unity, there is victory."?
I believe so :)
LOL, I think I've never looked at the back of the Vanguard coin. I don't remember the Latin bit.
My 3D printed badge that lights up! It's TEAL, and it has my favorite Spec Ops badge, lima, and faction! An Ingress player made it as a gift, and its my favorite thing!!!
The permanent kind.
I always wanted to get an Ingress tattoo, but to this day I don't know what motive I'd pick ^^'
Niiiiiiiice!
That looks awesome!
Correct!
Swag I don't have much in the tchotchke department. "Hack portal" refrigerator magnet may be the most appropriate. I make garb so anything I make, that I hunt and build in counts as swag.
Made for my book "Ingress underworld"....also made those for some fans. But I'm working on a new design.
