Custom Antique-Style Coins & Cash Coins

Custom Antique-Style Coins & Cash Coins from Longtian: custom antique-style coins and cash coins for museums, scenic attractions, enterprises and universities. Our MOQ starts from 50 pcs. Sampling usually takes 5–7 days after the digital proof is approved; mass production takes about 15–25 days after sample approval. Price depends mainly on metal, diameter, antique finish, hole or edge treatment, packaging and quantity; we do not publish a fixed price list — each project is quoted from your artwork and quantity. Sample and mold fees are quoted per design. Payment is T/T 30% deposit and 70% before shipment (PayPal for samples); trade terms are EXW, FOB Shenzhen or DDP by quote. An NDA is available on request.

Antique-style coins and cash-coin shapes connect visitors to historical currency and folklore, and they also work as tokens for games and stamp trails. We handle the design proof, sampling and production, then pack for export.

Crafts and processes

• Stamped brass, copper or iron blanks
• Die-cast zinc for shaped tokens
• Antique plating and darkening in recesses
• Optional square hole (cash-coin style)
• Edge treatments and dual-face designs

Antique-style coins and cash coins are struck or cast, then given an aged finish so recesses look darker and high points brighter. Cash-coin designs may include a square central hole. Tokens for games can be simpler and thicker. Both faces and the edge are designed together so the coin feels authentic in the hand.

Heritage motifs should be approved by someone who knows the collection or site story. We can age the surface lightly or heavily; the sample is the place to decide. For cash-coin shapes, the inner hole must leave enough metal around inscriptions. Token versions used in games may need a thicker blank so machines or staff can handle them quickly.

Materials

• Brass, copper, iron or zinc alloy
• Antique plating and darkening
• Optional enamel accents
• Edge reeding or plain edge
• Capsules or pouches

Brass and copper take antique finishes well; zinc suits shaped tokens.

Sizes

• Souvenir coins are commonly about 30–45 mm
• Cash-coin proportions follow traditional ratios when required
• Token thickness is set for durability

We balance diameter, hole size and text so the coin stays strong.

Packaging

• Capsule
• Coin card with story text
• Pouch
• Set of several designs in a folder

A story card explaining the coin motif helps museum visitors.

Customization options

• Round, cash-coin or custom outline
• Diameter and thickness
• Antique or bright plating
• Enamel accents
• Capsule, card or pouch packaging

Who orders them and why

• Museums: heritage-currency souvenirs.
• Scenic attractions: tokens and folklore coins.
• Enterprises: anniversary tokens.
• Universities: history-department gifts.

Design tips

Provide clear references for historical motifs and confirm any cultural sensitivity with your curator. Keep inscriptions readable at the chosen diameter. When pairing coins with a stamp trail or game, confirm token size with the equipment that will accept them. Provide curator-approved inscriptions only.
