(based on Bespoke Sports Medals: Custom Award Coins)


1. What are “Custom Award Coins / Commemorative Coins”?
Answer:
Custom Award Coins (also called commemorative coins) are specially designed tokens made to celebrate milestones, achievements, or events. They are crafted in a way that makes them unique to the client—often with logos, custom designs, finishes, and size options. Bespoke Sports Medals offer both one-sided and double-sided coins, full-colour enamel, part-enamel, antique finishes, and more. bespokesportsmedals.com
2. What sizes are available for these custom coins?
Answer:
According to the Bespoke Sports Medals “Custom Award Coins” page, popular coin sizes are 40 mm, 50 mm, and 60 mm, but as these are popular sizes it suggests there may be more options beyond those. bespokesportsmedals.com
3. What types of finishes and plating are offered for coins?
Answer:
You can choose from a wide variety of finishes. Some of the options include:
-
Antique finishes
-
Plated finishes in different metals (gold, silver, etc.)

-
Part enamel, 3D raised effects, super-rim sized coins, etc. bespokesportsmedals.com

Answer:
Yes. Bespoke Sports Medals offer coins that are double-sided. That means you can have different artwork or design on the front and back. bespokesportsmedals.com
5. Do they offer design help (mock-ups / custom artwork)?
Answer:

Answer:

7. What materials are used for these custom coins?
Answer:
The materials include various metal alloys such as brass, zinc alloys, copper, pewter, etc. The coins can have different base metals, and then are plated or finished. bespokesportsmedals.com
8. Are there custom features like 3D raised effect or super-rim designs?
Answer:
Yes. Among the coin options are 3D raised effects, super-sized rims, full colour enamel, part enamel, and antique finishes. These features allow for more texture, visual depth, and premium looks. bespokesportsmedals.com
9. Can I order coins in bulk or small quantities? What about pricing and MOQs?
Answer:
The page doesn’t explicitly list minimum order quantities (MOQs) or detailed bulk pricing for custom award coins, though elsewhere on the site (Medals, Awards) they mention bulk order discounts. For coins specifically, you would need to check with them for a quote. The site’s “Get a Quick Quote” options suggest they can supply for both small and large orders. bespokesportsmedals.com
10. How long does it take to produce custom challenge / commemorative coins?
Answer:
While the “Custom Award Coins” page doesn’t give a precise lead time for coins, elsewhere on the Bespoke Sports Medals site their standard lead time for medals is 3-4 weeks once artwork is approved. We might reasonably expect a similar timeframe for coins, though this should be confirmed in your quote. bespokesportsmedals.com+1
11. What shapes are possible for custom coins?
Answer:
Most coins are round, but Bespoke Sports Medals also offer custom shapes or variations (e.g. super-rim, custom cut‐outs). If you have a specific shape in mind (logo silhouette, shields, etc.), they seem able to accommodate this. bespokesportsmedals.com

Answer:
Yes. Logos and custom artwork are part of the design process.
