Different Types Of Challenge Coins

Challenge coins have different types, and every type is more impressive than the other. Let’s look at some of the types of challenge coins.

Soft Enamel Challenge Coin

Soft does not mean soft but a coin with edges that can be felt when touched. The soft challenge coin is a type of challenge coin where the surface has not been polished. The coin’s raised edges and textured feel make it unique and appealing to the eye.

Hard Enamel Challenge Coin

Hard enamel challenge coins have a luxurious and more refined feel to them. They are created by stamping the design on the coin. It does not have raised edges; instead, it has a soft feel because they are polished to give them a unique sheen.

3D cast challenge coins

Such coins have a 3D design cast over the surface of the coin. These coins have recessed and raised areas like the sculptures.

Die struck challenge coin

Die-struck challenge coins are created with a steel die to strike a design or image onto the flat space of copper, iron, or brass coin. These coins can be created in 3D and 3D detailing with enhanced design, detain, and size
