Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do custom challenge coins come in?

Challenge coins in this category come in seven diameters: 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75 and 3 inches. Every challenge coin style listed measures 0.118 inch thick, so a larger coin adds face area rather than bulk. Medallions are listed separately at 1.5, 2.5 and 3 inches wide.

How much do custom coins & medallions cost per piece?

Starting prices across the 44 styles in this category run from $0.32 to $9.43 per piece. The lowest-priced option is the Personalized Promotional Token at 1.68 inch diameter, at $0.32. Final unit cost depends on the style, the diameter, the quantity and whether the design is decorated on one side or both.

What is the difference between a challenge coin and a medallion?

A challenge coin is a flat pocket-sized coin, while a medallion in this category is an award piece that is often supplied with a ribbon to wear. Challenge coin styles here run 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter at 0.118 inch thick. Medallion styles are listed at 1.5, 2.5 and 3 inches wide, and several die-struck medal styles include a blank ribbon in stock colors.

What materials are custom coins and medallions made from?

Materials listed in this category include zinc, iron, wood and metal. Zinc appears on the trolley coins, the die cast coins and the die-struck medals. The Wood Medals are cut from real wood, and the Fiesta Medals are listed as iron. Challenge coins are sold under zinc and brass style names, and each product page shows the material listed for that style.

Can a custom challenge coin be colored on both sides?

Yes. Styles labeled "4 Colors, 2 Sided" carry color fill on both faces, while styles labeled "4 Colors, 1 Side" carry it on one side only. Styles labeled "No Color Fill" leave the struck design in bare metal. Two-sided color costs more at the same diameter, for example a starting price of $3.51 against $3.14 on the 2 inch zinc coin.

What is the minimum order for custom coins and medallions?

Minimum order quantity varies by style in this category. Listed minimums include 100 units on a die-struck enamel medal and 250 units on the dollar-size trolley coin. Check the product page for the style you want, or request a quote to confirm the minimum that applies to your run.

How long does production take for custom coins?

Production time varies by style and is not uniform across this category. Request a quote with your quantity and your in-hands date, and the schedule for that specific style will be confirmed before you commit. Do this before you lock an event date so the delivery window is confirmed in writing.

What can be engraved or imprinted on a custom coin or medallion?

Imprint and engraving area vary by style, so check the product page for the exact area on the style you want. The Wood Medals carry a 2.25 inch round laser engraving on the front with optional back engraving. Die-struck styles hold the artwork as raised relief in the metal, and soft enamel styles add color fill separated by the raised metal lines.

Who buys custom coins and medallions in bulk?

Award and recognition programs are the core buyers of custom coins and medallions. Sports leagues and school programs order ribboned medals for season and tournament awards, and employers order coins for service milestones and team recognition. Membership groups and charity drives use tokens for fundraising, and retailers order trolley coins for shopping cart deposits.

Do award medals come with a ribbon?

Some die-struck medal styles include a blank ribbon in stock colors. The Diestruck Antiqued Medals at 2 inch diameter and the Diestruck Soft Enamel Medals at 3 inch diameter both list an included stock-color ribbon, so they arrive ready to hang on a recipient. Ribbon availability varies by style, so confirm it on the product page before ordering.
