Coin Design Guide
Making your own challenge coins is easy. Use the following information to help you get started
Measuring Coin Size
Size guides are approximate. Always double check the widest points of your design.
Select A Metal Finish
Choose from one of our many metallic coin finishes, polished or distinguished antique available in gold, silver, copper, or brass; other unique finishes like black nickel are also available.
Edges - Standard or Diamond-Cut?
All coins come standard with a flat rolling edge, but these can be customized too. Many coin designs benefit from a diamond-cut edge or other pattern around the border.

You can even have them individually numbered, engraved, or even made to accommodate a key ring. With our additional coin options the possibilities are endless.
Pantone© Color Chart
The classic challenge coin style creates a formal look, suitable for any occasion or event. If you want to make your design even more memorable, especially for corporate coins, add color. We offer up to five colors at no extra charge.
We add color enamel to your design after the design is die struck into the metal. We fill in the recesses with enamel paint and cure the enamel at high heat. The end result is an attractive, durable design with dramatic visual appeal.
Because computer screens and mobile devices vary in how they display colors, we rely on Pantone® colors as our color guide. Be aware that the only way to ensure an EXACT color match by checking an actual physical copy of a Pantone (PMS) color chart at your print shop or public library. You can also check out our virtual Pantone© color chart for a close approximation on your screen.
