What makes a great challenge coin?

2022 11/04

That's a pretty broad question. It depends on what you like, what your budget allows for and who you're working with. The challenge coin company you choose can make the difference. You may have thought you were getting a die struck coin but in reality could receive a die cast coin. Die struck or die cast may be decided by the coin design. Zinc alloy coins are lighter than their brass and copper brethren.

The design of your coin is critical to the way the finished product looks. The experience of the designers working on your coin design can impact the finished product. However, even the best designer can't save a bad coin design. Sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves; a coin design is no exception.

How To Give A Challenge Coin

Additional features such as a diamond cut edge, reeded edge or rope edge can enhance a design. Epoxy enhances the overall look of a coin. This clear coat makes every aspect of a coin design jump out at you. I highly recommend this option when doing your own coin.

Metal finish

The metal finish you choose can have a drastic impact on the coin design; especially if a lot of colors are involved. Just to clarify, when I say color, I mean paint colors. Pantone solid colors are painted on Challenge Coins. Gradients (the transition from one color to another) cannot be painted on a custom coin. Photographic printing would be the option to go with if a gradient, exact logo or exact photo is required on your custom coin.
