// What Sets Us Apart
Engineered. Not Just Designed.
A strong concept is only the beginning. Every line, recessed field, raised surface, metal border, color break, and relief transition must work when the design is converted into a physical coin.
Excalibur approaches custom challenge coin design as an engineering discipline. We evaluate depth, relief, material, finish, readability, balance, and manufacturability so the finished coin feels as powerful as the story behind it.
// Built to Your Specifications
Custom Challenge Coin Options
No two organizations carry the same history, mission, or identity. Your coin should not look like a template with a different logo dropped into the center. We build personalized challenge coins around the details that matter: the right size, shape, depth, finish, color system, edge treatment, and presentation.
2D, 3D & High Relief
Use crisp 2D levels for clean insignia and text, sculpted 3D relief for dimensional subjects, or high-relief modeling when depth and physical presence are central to the design.
Enamel & UV Color
Traditional enamel provides bold recessed color. UV printing supports gradients, fine details, photographs, camouflage, and artwork that cannot be reproduced accurately with enamel alone.
Metal & Finish
Choose antique gold, antique silver, polished gold, polished silver, bronze, black nickel, two-tone plating, or a finish developed to support the design rather than overpower it.
Size & Shape
Most projects fall between 1.75 and 2.5 inches, but larger presentation coins, custom silhouettes, cutouts, bottle openers, spinner coins, and specialty formats are available.
Edges & Details
Rope edges, diamond cuts, reeded edges, engraved edge text, sequential numbering, dual plating, epoxy, translucent enamel, and other details can turn a good coin into a signature piece.
Packaging & Presentation
Individual protective sleeves, velvet boxes, acrylic capsules, presentation cases, and custom packaging can be added for command coins, retirements, awards, and formal gifts.
// Pricing
Pricing & Timeline
Most custom challenge coins range from approximately $4.50–$6.50 per coin, depending on size, quantity, dimensional detail, finish, and UV printing requirements.
Mold setup typically ranges from $110–$275, depending on whether the design requires standard 2D tooling, heavy 3D relief, or complex UV color production.
Our minimum order is 100 coins. Standard production is approximately 3 weeks after design approval, although specialty construction and complex packaging may require additional time.
// Built for the Mission

// Why Excalibur
A Custom Challenge Coin Company Built Around Execution
Choosing a custom challenge coin manufacturer is ultimately a decision about trust, accuracy, and execution. Excalibur is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned business with direct experience in military Special Operations, law enforcement, government operations, and challenge coin production. That background shapes how we interpret symbolism, protect accuracy, and move a project from idea to finished metal.
Manufacturing-Aware Design
Artwork is evaluated for actual production. Thin lines, crowded text, unsupported relief, weak borders, poor color separation, and other manufacturing problems are corrected before tooling begins.
Clear Professional Proofs
Your engineering blueprint shows the intended metal, depth, finish, color, and layout before production. You approve the direction before the mold is cut.
Premium Materials & Finishes
We match construction to the design instead of forcing every project into the cheapest available production method. The coin should feel substantial, balanced, and deliberate in the hand.
Accountability From Start to Finish
You work with a U.S.-based company that manages design, production, inspection, delivery, and problem resolution. There is no anonymous marketplace or rotating sales queue.

Experience the Difference
From packaging to presentation, every detail is designed to elevate the finished product beyond a standard promotional coin.
// Common Questions
Custom Challenge Coin FAQs
What is the minimum order for custom challenge coins?
The minimum order is 100 coins. This allows the tooling, setup, plating, color, inspection, and production costs to be distributed across a practical manufacturing run.
How long does it take to make custom challenge coins?
Standard production is approximately 3 weeks after the final design is approved. Complex shapes, specialized construction, custom packaging, or unusually large orders may require additional time.
Do I need finished artwork before I contact you?
No. You do not need to hire a separate challenge coin designer or arrive with finished production artwork. You can submit a sketch, logo, photograph, written concept, AI-generated reference, or existing coin. We will evaluate the material and develop it into a manufacturable challenge coin design.
What is the difference between 2D and 3D challenge coins?
2D coins use defined raised and recessed levels, making them ideal for text, insignia, and crisp graphic artwork. 3D coins use sculpted transitions and curved surfaces to create realistic depth in portraits, equipment, architecture, animals, and other dimensional subjects.
Can you reproduce gradients, photographs, or very detailed artwork?
Yes. UV printing can reproduce gradients, photographic details, camouflage, small seals, and complex multicolor artwork that cannot be created accurately with traditional enamel. UV color can also be layered over sculpted 3D metal.
Can you help determine the right size and finish?
Yes. We recommend size, thickness, finish, plating, edge treatment, color method, and packaging based on the design, intended use, quantity, and budget. Detailed artwork often benefits from a 2-inch or larger format.
