A custom die struck challenge coin featuring a US flag design, made to your artwork for commemorative events, unit recognition, or ceremonial handover.

What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits
- Your commemorative event name or unit name is struck into the coin rather than printed or applied as a label
- Soft enamel fill is hand applied and baked to resist wear during handling and display
- Polished gold silver or antique plating options maintain visual consistency across multiple coins
- One digital proof covers all coins in the order, ensuring colour and detail match across batches
- Made in-house from your artwork, so revisions are handled directly by the team producing the die
Where It Is Used

Problems It Solves
- Stock challenge coins carry generic designs and cannot include your event name or unit insignia
- Printed or adhesive labels on coins peel or fade over time, especially with frequent handling
- Colour mismatch between reorders when different batches use different enamel mixes
- Coins that look assembled from parts due to mismatched plating or poor enamel fill
- Late changes to artwork that a supplier without in-house design cannot accommodate quickly

- Standard attachment: pin back with rubber clutch, or optional lanyard ring for hanging
- Optional epoxy dome over the face for added scratch resistance and visual depth

Use Guide

- Order a few extra coins per batch to cover losses or replacements
- Store coins in their bags until distribution to avoid fingerprints on plating
