Some of the companies can produce die struck custom coins, medals and medallions. They can work with many metal finishes. They have highly skilled engravers to faithfully reproduce your custom coins in bronze, aluminum, brass, pewter and even fine silver or gold. They can make custom coins for military, police and fire department coins and government and municipal coins.
Artwork for custom coins should be big. Big art is better art. Larger images produce higher quality products. Make sure you proof your art at the actual coin size to make sure it looks right and you can read what you want to be able to read. Most images found on the internet lack the quality and detail needed to engrave high quality dies for custom coins. Poor quality images require more clean up and higher cost to produce the custom coins. Electronic art files should be 300 DPI or more for custom coins. Adobe Illustrator is a good format. Do not compress images as it can create artifacts and data errors.
