Minting Of The Special Custom Award Coins


Custom Challenge Coins
The special custom award coins are minted by the excellent coin mints that know how to mint the special coins and provide the best ideas for the coins. The whole task is very special and sacred because the custom award coins are not just any challenge coins but they are being minted to salute the bravery of the young, vibrant men who barely survived and many saw their fellow soldiers dying in their arms.

The coin's design is specially made by special designers and then finalized by the Chief of Army Staff. Each and every petty detail including the size, shape, metal, border, inscription, etc are all discussed in detail with them before finalizing the whole thing.

After it is done a complete soft copy is checked. The design on both sides of the coin is made of paper and rechecked for any kind of mistake in the writing or dates and after being checked several times it is given for minting. The mind then gets a dye made and a stamping sort of metal is prepared for both sides of the coin. Then the metals on which the coins are to be made is stamped with the design and then the cut outs and other details are done.


After the coins are done the last part is to design the border which is done very cautiously on each and every piece by hand to give the give the coins and exquisite look. Last of all the coins are packed in special glass, plastic, velvet, Swede, its boxes that would look nice when presented to the brave men.

The coins are presented in special ceremonies arranged on a very large scale and telecast live by the social media on television as well. The whole thing is an excellent way to commemorate the efforts of the brave soldiers and also to boost the morale of the young ones.
