Questions & Answers

Start by submitting your project through our intake form on the Custom Challenge Coins page.

From there, your project enters our engineering pipeline, where we review your concept, requirements, and intended use. Within 24 hours, you'll receive an initial design blueprint outlining the direction, structure, and production approach for your coin.

From there, we refine the design and move toward final production.

Each project is priced based on its specific requirements, including size, level of detail, finish, and production scale.

Rather than offering generic pricing, we build each quote around a fully developed design blueprint—ensuring the final product meets both visual and manufacturing standards.

Most projects fall within a professional production range, but final pricing is determined after the design phase to ensure accuracy and quality.

You don't need finished artwork to begin.

Most projects start with a concept, reference images, or unit-specific elements. From there, we develop a structured design blueprint tailored for production.

If you already have logos, insignia, or existing artwork, we'll incorporate and refine them to ensure they translate correctly into metal.

Standard coin sizes typically range from 1.75″ to 2″+, with larger formats available for projects requiring additional depth and presence.

Size is not just a dimension—it directly impacts how much detail, relief, and visual hierarchy can be engineered into the coin. Larger coins allow for more complex designs, deeper 3D elements, and improved readability.

During the design phase, we'll recommend the optimal size based on your concept to ensure the final piece performs correctly in metal.

Most projects begin at 100 coins, as this allows for proper production efficiency and ensures the best overall value.

While smaller runs may be possible in select cases, our process is designed for organizations and teams looking to produce meaningful, well-executed pieces at scale.

We'll guide you on the ideal quantity during the design phase based on your goals and intended use.

Excalibur is not a middleman or a template-based coin vendor—we operate as a coin production engineering firm.

Founded by a 1st Special Forces Group veteran, we understand what these coins represent—the units, the history, and the standards behind them. That perspective drives how every project is approached.

Each coin is built from the ground up and engineered for real-world production. We focus on how the design will actually strike in metal—ensuring proper depth, clarity, and durability—not just how it looks on a screen.

From initial concept through final production, every project is guided through a controlled process designed to deliver a piece that holds its meaning and stands the test of time.
