Getting Started with Custom Army Coins
Custom army coins are made for units, commands, training classes, ROTC programs and veteran organisations. They recognise outstanding performance, mark a promotion or retirement, commemorate a deployment, welcome new soldiers, and carry the story of a mission long after it ends.
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 Army Coins
Army coin designs usually build on something the unit already owns — a distinctive unit insignia, a battalion crest, rank chevrons, a mascot or a motto. Deployment dates, call signs and short unit mottos are often added around the edge so the coin points at one specific moment.
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 army coin does not have to be round. Crossed bayonets, shields, arrowheads, unit silhouettes and cut-through areas all work as coin shapes, and they make a unit crest read instantly. Shaped coins use the same 20-piece minimum as round ones.
Antique Finishes and Enamel Colour
Antique gold, silver, copper and bronze give an army coin a weathered, earned look, while colour enamel keeps unit crests, chevrons and flags readable. Both can be combined on the same coin, and every finish is included in the price.
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.
