Getting Started with Custom Air Force Coins
Custom air force coins represent squadrons, wings, groups, training units and mission teams. They are handed out for a graduation, a promotion, a mission completion, a retirement or exceptional service, and they tie the coin to one specific achievement.
Order from 25 pieces per design. Every order includes free digital proofs with unlimited revisions, and production takes 2–3 weeks once you approve the proof.

Different Styles of Air Force Coins
Air force coin designs often build on an aircraft profile, pilot wings, a squadron patch, a call sign or a rank symbol. Tail numbers, deployment dates and short unit mottos are frequently set around the rim so the coin records one specific mission.
MZIHO can produce classic round coins as well as custom shapes, cutouts and functional designs. Available details include raised and recessed relief, recessed textures, shiny or antique plating, two-tone finishes, colour enamel and decorative edges.
Custom Shapes and Cutouts
An air force coin does not have to be round. Arrowheads, shields, aircraft silhouettes and cut-through areas all work as coin shapes, and they make a squadron patch read instantly. Shaped coins use the same 20-piece minimum as round ones.
Specialty Finishes and Enamel Colour
Beyond antique gold, silver and copper, air force coins often use iridescent and dual-plated finishes to pick out wings and aircraft. Colour enamel keeps unit insignia, call signs and small lettering readable at coin size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Key details on artwork, coin options, packaging and ordering custom challenge coins from MZIHO.What artwork file formats do you accept?
We accept AI, EPS, PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG and other common artwork files. Vector files are preferred because they provide cleaner lines and more accurate production results.
How do I submit artwork for both sides of a coin?
Upload your front-side artwork and use the optional back-side artwork upload for the reverse design. If the two sides use different details, labels or finishes, include them clearly in your order notes.
Will small text and fine details work?
Very small text and thin lines may need adjustment for clear production. We will identify any concerns during proofing and suggest practical changes before production begins.
What challenge coin size should I choose?
Coin size is measured by its diameter. Smaller coins suit simple emblems, while larger sizes allow more room for text, detailed artwork and fine details. Choose the size that best fits your design on the product page.
What is the difference between coin edge options?
A flat edge offers a clean traditional look. Rope, oblique, reeded and petal edges add raised detail and a more decorative finish. The available edge options are displayed on the product page.
Can I choose the metal finish?
Yes. Available finishes include gold, nickel, black nickel, antique gold, antique silver and antique copper. Select the finish that best complements your artwork and style.
Can I order multiple coin designs together?
Yes, but each design is treated as a separate custom item because its artwork, size, edge and production requirements can vary. Add each design to the cart as its own line item.
What packaging options are available?
Every order includes a clear PVC pouch at no extra cost. You can upgrade to a coin capsule, plastic box, velour box, velour pouch, coin holder keychain, acrylic or metal coin stand, or a custom printed card insert. Choose your packaging in the cart before checkout.
Is an event date or delivery deadline required?
No. The event date or deadline is optional. Add it only when you have a specific date in mind, and our team will review whether the requested schedule is feasible before production begins.
