When starting your challenge coin design journey, you may notice that often the terms "die cast" and "die spun" are intermixed. It is important to understand the differences in the manufacturing processes which creates a vast difference in the finished challenge coin.
Distinctions in the Manufacturing Process for Die Cast Challenge Coins
The manufacturing of die cast challenge coins is a meticulous and dedicated process that creates precision in challenge coin design. It begins with the crafting of a mold, or "die," which is professionally designed to encapsulate all aspects of the desired design.
Once the mold is prepared, molten metal, often zinc or pewter, is injected under high pressure into the die cavity. This critical step allows the metal to fill every intricacy of the mold, ensuring that even the most detailed and complex designs are captured with clarity and accuracy.
As the metal cools and solidifies, the raw shape of the coin emerges, revealing its initial form. After cooling, the excess metal is trimmed away, leaving a challenge coin that is both robust and intricately detailed. It's a process steeped in tradition, yet responsive to innovation, producing coins that are not only symbols of honour and achievement but also tangible pieces of craftsmanship and dedication.
Distinctions in the Manufacturing Process for Die Spun Challenge Coins
Unlike the die-casting process, die spinning starts with a solid metal blank instead of molten metal. The process starts with a flat metal blank, typically made of brass or copper, serving as the canvas for the intricate design.
Two precisely engraved dies are positioned opposite each other, and as the blank spins between them, significant pressure is applied. This rotation allows the dies to imprint the design onto the coin's surface, ensuring each turn creates detailed features. The circular motion guarantees an even distribution of force, which allows the design to be imprinted onto the surface of the challenge coin.
