The Giving of Coins & Medallions

Though the issuing of challenge coins or medals (medallions) may date back for centuries and be well established in military circles, this tradition has carried over into business and civic life as well.

Executives often present challenge coins and medallions for various occasions. Whether to commemorate a significant anniversary or to show appreciation, a quality custom challenge coin or medal is high-touch, leaves quite an impression, and becomes a memento the giver and receiver can display and cherish for a lifetime.

Regardless of the project’s nature, our 100% US-based team has the experience to make your objectives a reality.   

When it comes to coins and medallions, you’ve never been in better hands.
