Challenge coins have a long history of commemorating achievement, showing membership, or boosting morale. Today, they still make great awards as well as memorable promotional tokens. Why? Because with so many options for coin type, coin finish, and coin metal, every creation is unique.

With The/Studio, you can create highly personalized custom challenge coins with a variety of options for finishes and colors. Whatever the occasion, we have the coin materials to suit it.

But we make customization even easier by offering 20 different coin materials, all expertly mixed from high-quality metals. Learn more about each coin metal option below!
