Die-Struck Soft Enamel Coins
Our die-struck soft enamel coins are the classic challenge coin, made the way the tradition started. Your emblem is engraved into a hardened steel mold, struck deep into solid brass, and the recessed areas are hand-filled with enamel color one section at a time. The result is a coin with real texture — polished metal lines you can trace with a thumb, sitting proud above pools of color. It’s the format military units, police departments, and fire crews reach for first, because it looks and feels like the coins that have been passed hand to hand for generations.
Enamel colors are matched to your unit or brand palette, and the raised metal linework can be plated in polished gold, silver, copper, black nickel, or an antique finish that shadows the detail. Because the color sits recessed below the struck metal, it’s protected from everyday wear — a soft enamel coin rides in a pocket for years and still shows crisp lines and clean color. Both sides strike independently, so the front can carry the crest while the back tells the story.
We mint them from 1.5 to 3 inches across in 3mm or 4mm thickness, with edge options that finish the coin like currency — rope, cross-cut, spur, or a plain polished rim. Sequential numbering, engraved names, and a bottle-opener cutout are all available, and every coin ships in a clear capsule or velvet pouch so presentation day looks the part. Our designers translate patches, crests, and rough sketches into strike-ready art at no charge.
Soft enamel coins suit any unit or organization that wants the traditional look at a working price. Every order includes a free mockup so you can see your emblem struck in metal before we mint, plus unlimited free revisions. Ready to put your crest in people’s pockets?
