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.
