Four antique brass 3D challenge coins with rope edges and military insignia relief
Product Overview

What This Product Is

A challenge coin is carried, handed over and kept, so the relief has to survive being rubbed between someone's fingers for years. This one is produced in brass at 50.8 mm with 3D relief cut into the die, which holds depth that a printed or etched coin cannot. Unit insignia, mottoes and rope edges all come from the same tooling.

Key Benefits

  • Brass body takes an antique finish that deepens in the recesses and stays bright on the raised faces.
  • 3D die relief holds fine insignia detail that flat etching loses.
  • 50.8 mm gives enough face area for a unit crest and a full ring of text.
  • Free artwork redraw and a free physical sample before any bulk commitment.

Problems It Solves

What Buyers Come to Us With

Etched coins look flat in the hand

Cutting 3D relief into the die gives real depth, so the crest reads from any angle.

Antique finishes come back different on a reorder

The approved sample is kept as the plating reference for repeat runs.

Artwork arrives as a flat unit crest, not a coin layout

The crest is redrawn to a coin layout, with the text ring set out around it, free of charge.

Who It Is For

  • Military, police and emergency service units marking a posting or a deployment
  • Veterans associations producing commemorative issues
  • Corporate recognition programmes that want a keepsake rather than a certificate

Customisation Options

  • Brass or zinc alloy body
  • Gold, silver, black and antique plating finishes
  • Rope, reeded or plain edge
  • Two-sided artwork with different relief on each face

  4. Production

Comparison

Against a zinc alloy coin of the same size, brass costs more but takes an antique finish with more contrast and is the material recommended for collectible and memorial pieces. Against an iron coin, brass is the choice once the diameter passes 45 mm, where iron starts to feel light for the size.

Use Guide

  • Send the crest or sketch by WhatsApp or email; a production drawing is made from it.
  • Approve relief depth and plating on the free physical sample.
  • Store coins in the supplied bag or box; handle antique finishes by the edge to keep the high points bright.
