CREATING THE RIGHT LOOK FOR YOUR CHALLENGE COIN

Here are some BENEFITS OF CHOOSING 3D CHALLENGE COINS FOR YOUR PROJECT:
ADDS DEPTH & TEXTURE


Adding 3D not only gives your coin an awesome look, it creates an interesting texture as well.

MAKES IT STAND OUT


Choosing the 3D option is one of the best ways to make your coin stand out.

LOOKS BEST ANTIQUED


Any coin can be made 3D, but we always recommend going with an antique finish.

IN A NUTSHELL...

If you want your coin to really come to life, stand out, and have an interesting look and feel, 3D is the way to go. One thing to note is that to add more relief we have to add a little extra thickness to your coin. This gives the coin more heft in addition to the awesome look and feel of it. 3D coins can be made in any metal, but we specifically recommend going with an antique finish because the detail is much more discernable due to the higher contrast. You also want to avoid using black nickel and black metal finishes for 3D coins as the details are even less recognizable than the regular polished finishes. Lastly, if you’d like to add a pop of color to your 3D go with translucent enamel. It is semi transparent and will allow you to see the detailing of the 3D.

When to go 3D...

Choose 3D when your design has a centerpiece worth sculpting: a memorial portrait, an aircraft, a station crest. For text-heavy or flat-color designs, classic enamel may serve better, and we will tell you which fits your artwork in the free quote.

FAQS

What is a 3D challenge coin?

A coin with sculpted, multi-level relief instead of flat enamel, so the design has actual depth and shadow.

Can challenge coins be 3D printed?

Hobby 3D prints exist, but real challenge coins are die-struck metal from a sculpted mold, which is what gives them weight and durability.

Can I design my own challenge coin?

Yes. Send artwork or an idea, or start in our online designer, and we will sculpt and proof it with free revisions.
