What Are Custom Challenge Coins?
Challenge coins began as a military tradition: a coin that showed you belonged to a unit, carried and presented with pride. Today teams, clubs, schools, and companies use custom coins the same way, as a keepsake that says someone earned their place.
A custom coin is die cast in metal from a mold of your artwork, so your logo, lettering, and mascot stand out in raised metal detail. Plating and enamel color finish the design, and the solid metal gives the coin real weight in the hand.
Features and Customization Options
- Material: Die-cast zinc alloy, about 3 mm thick
- Two sides: A different design on the front and back
- Size: Most coins are 1.75 to 2 inches (45–50 mm) across, and we can make them from about 1 inch up to 4 inches
- Color: Soft enamel color fill, hard enamel for a smooth polished face at the same price, or full-color printing for photos and gradients
- Plating: Gold, silver, or copper in a shiny or antique finish, black nickel, or two-tone
- Detail: Raised metal detail for logos and lettering, or 3D sculpted relief for mascots, portraits, and crests
- Edge: Smooth, or a rope-cut, diamond-cut, or other textured edge
- Shape: Round, square, shield, or a custom shape, with optional cutouts
- Packaging: Each coin individually bagged, with coin capsules, velvet pouches, and velvet boxes available
- Mockup: Free digital mockup with unlimited revisions, with no payment until you approve the artwork
Minimum order: 100 coins per design. A one-time $150 setup fee applies to orders under 300 coins. Price breaks apply at 200, 300, 500, and 1,000 coins (see the pricing table above). Prices are for coins up to 2 inches with soft or hard enamel color on both sides, and include antique finishes and shipping to one US address.
Your quote includes any options you choose, such as 3D detail, a custom shape, or gift packaging.

Designing Your Coin

- Back: The award, event name, year, or a motto
- Text: Keep it to a few words per side so it reads clearly at coin size
Send your logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG) if you have one; a high-resolution PNG or JPG works too. Our team lays out both sides for your free mockup.
