Dual Plated Coins
A coin with enough levels to impress
Dual plated challenge coins are created when two different types of metal are used on one design. Classic combinations like gold and silver give custom coins their distinct appearance.
Other popular plating options include copper and silver as well as black nickel and gold. If you want your custom challenge coins to stand out, dual plating is an option you’ll want to consider.

Dual Plated Coins Are On High Demand!
Rather than use paint to achieve the effect of two different colors, the two metals on a dual plated challenge coin are used to create contrast. This adds appeal to any design. Images stand out against their backgrounds. Dual plated challenge coins are popular with military units, civil service employees, and corporations with employee recognition award programs.
Custom Coin Designs
A more creative approach you can take is using custom coins as collector's items that showcase your artistic talent. Whether it's a simple logo or a complex art piece, a great custom coin always starts with a striking design.
Even if you have no art or design skills, Coin Depot can help! Our staff of artists and designers have years of digital art experience, and are more than happy to assist you in the design process. If you’re not confident in creating your own coin designs, you can always send us your ideas in the form of written notes or even a small sketch. We even take doodles on a napkin! You would be shocked to see how capable our team is at bringing your ideas to life!
Once you approve your design, a coin mold is made. This is then stamped into metal to create the raised and recessed areas of the coin. The coin base is plated in gold, silver, or whichever coin plating you have chosen. The recessed areas are then filled with coloured enamel paint (or translucent colors, which look amazing!), separated by the raised areas made by the metal outlines in the design stage.
The layers of enamel paint are applied to the recessed areas. Once the enamel is baked and dried, the coin’s colors actually sit slightly lower than the raised metal areas, giving the finished coin a distinct outlined look.
