Custom Die Struck Coins
A die struck coin has no enamel at all. The design is carried by the metal itself, through relief, texture and finish. Done well it looks like a minted medal, and it is the classic choice for military units, police departments and commemorative issues.

How to choose custom die struck coins
What is a die struck challenge coin?
A coin with no enamel. The design is formed by relief in the metal and finished in plating, like a minted medal.
Why choose die struck coins?
They show finer detail than enamel, including text and portraits, and suit military, police and commemorative coins.
Which finish is best for die struck coins?
Antique brass, silver or copper plating darkens the recesses and makes the relief stand out.
How should I prepare artwork for a die struck coin?
Use bold outlines and keep text at least 1 mm high, because colour will not separate shapes.
Can a die struck coin have any colour?
Yes. We can fill one or two small areas with enamel for a touch of colour.
How big should a die struck coin be?
40 mm to 55 mm shows detailed designs well. Go larger for portraits and long mottos.
