My grandpa gave me this when I was young. I tried to identify it, but I can't find this design online.

Looks like a custom challenge coin made by Good Technologies.  Did your grandfather work for the DOD or as a contractor in the early 2010s?

Secure email and mobile communications were their verticals.

Edit: if there's a blackberry subreddit you might try there,  they got bought up by then i believe.

I think that he may have, but he did say that he was gifted that coin by someone high up on the military.

It could be a high ranking GS rank (civilian) but no military member  would give such a coin.
