How our Emblem Coins are Made
-
Start
Select the coin to be engraved. All coins are machined to 0.01mm tolerance.
-
Preparation
Using a combination of 100 and 40 micron Microfinishing Film, the coins have all machining marks removed.
-
Comparison
Preparing the coins prior to engraving means we can achieve a cleaner finish later.
-
Alignment
The coins are then tested under the laser. Using a magnifying glass to confirm accurate alignment before the design is engraved.
-
Engraving
Using our Cloudray 60 Watt Fiber Laser, your design is then etched into the coin over 60+ passes.
-
Output
Engraving leaves burned edges on the top surfaces. On larger batches we get all coins to this stage prior to finishing.
-
Buffing
Using an abrasive disc we gently remove the burned edges and brighten the background without removing detail.
-
Finishing
The buffing marginally rounds the corners. A final lapping at 400 grit sharpens the corners for flush fitting.
-
Completion
With the coin now complete, we laser cut the foam packaging and dispatch the same day it was engraved.
