Process:
Our process is designed to work around your needs. We guide you in creating the initial design if needed, or we can work with you to perfect a pre-existing design idea you might have. Once you approve a final design, it is die-struck into thick bronze or copper, and both the front and back of the coin are struck at the same time. Our experienced staff can give you suggestions to enhance or modify your design as needed in order to ensure that your design is most suitable for production. According to your final design specifications, the coins are then electroplated (see our available finishes here) sandblasted, and polished. Though all color is added individually by hand, hard enamel color is added pre polishing, while soft enamel is added after polishing.
We have produced some of the most inspiring military and challenge coins for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, EMS, Fire and Police Departments around the United States of America, as well as for many agencies abroad. Many of our corporate customers have employed performance and project recognition programs, commemorating important milestones or the completion of a momentous project with custom coins designed by Monterey’s expert team.
