You’ve probably heard about soft enamel challenge coins but have you heard of hard enamel challenge coins? We offer both styles and wanted to feature the latter in today’s blog because many people don’t know that we offer them as an option to our customers. Hard enamel challenge coins refer to the type of paint-like enamel that is used in the color areas of a coin. It is filled up to the same level as the surrounding metal which gives the coin a smooth feeling.
What Makes Hard Enamel Coins So Special?
Hard enamel colors are vibrant and very rich in nature. This helps add to the appearance of the custom coins. The perceived value of a hard enamel coin is higher than a soft enamel coin. The reason behind this is simple. Hard enamel coins are ordered by groups and organizations that want to take things to the next level professionally.
How Soft Enamel Coins Are Created
Soft enamel coins are not flexible or soft by any means. The name refers to the type of paint that is used in the color areas. With soft enamel coins (most common) the paint is filled slightly less than flush with the surrounding metal. This gives the coin a raised and recessed feel. All the surrounding metal is raised and the color areas are recessed.
