    What Are Custom Coins in Canada?

    Custom coins - sometimes called challenge coins or commemorative coins - are solid metal tokens designed to represent a unit, organisation, or milestone. In Canada, they have a long tradition in the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and first responder communities. Today, corporations, universities, sports teams, and private groups order them for everything from employee recognition to event giveaways.

    Every coin we make is designed from scratch for you. You bring the idea; our designers build it into something worth passing down.

    Types of Custom Coins We Make

    Die-Struck Coins

    The classic challenge coin. Struck from solid brass or zinc alloy with your design raised and recessed in metal. Available in antique gold, silver, copper, polished gold, and polished silver.

    Hard Enamel Coins

    Smooth, jewellery-grade finish. Enamel colour is flush with the metal surface - durable and refined. Preferred for corporate and commemorative use.

    Soft Enamel Coins

    Vibrant colours sitting slightly recessed beneath raised metal borders, giving a layered, textured look. The most popular choice for military and police coins.

    Full Colour Coins

    For complex artwork, logos, or photographs - we print directly onto the coin surface for unlimited colour reproduction.

    3D Coins

    Multiple relief levels bring intricate designs to life with depth and dimension - ideal for unit crests or detailed imagery.

    Custom Shapes

    Round is the standard. But we also make shield-shaped, star-shaped, and fully custom die-cut coins matched to your design.
