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 a custom designed coin.
Process:
Your design, once completed, perfected and approved is die struck into thick bronze or copper. Both the front and the back of your coin are struck at the same time. (Don’t worry, we hold your hand through this part. 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 the 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.
