Shenzhen Longtian Cultural & Creative Co., Ltd. is a Shenzhen cultural and creative products company that designs and manufactures commemorative coins for museums, scenic attractions, enterprises and universities. Commemorative coins compress a story into a palm-sized object, which is why cultural institutions, companies and schools use them to mark anniversaries, exhibitions and milestones. We handle the design proof, sampling and production, then pack for export.
Crafts and processes
- Die-striking or die-casting in brass, copper or zinc alloy
- Antique copper, silver and gold plating
- Enamel colour fills and colour printing
- Sandblasting, polishing and edge reeding
- Laser engraving for serial numbers
Commemorative coins are struck or cast to show sharp relief on both faces. For stamped coins, a pair of steel dies is engraved from the obverse and reverse artwork, and blanks of brass, copper or iron are struck under high pressure, giving a dense, crisp surface. Die-cast zinc coins allow deeper sculpting and cut-outs at a different cost structure.
Edges can be plain, reeded or carry lettering; surfaces can be mirror polished on the field with frosted relief, antiqued, or dual plated in two tones. Colour is added with soft enamel, transparent enamel over a textured base or printing. Inserts, translucent windows and serial numbers turn a coin into a limited edition. For museums and scenic areas, coins often reproduce an artifact on one side and the venue emblem on the other.
Materials
- Brass: stamped, warm colour, fine detail
- Copper: stamped, classic commemorative feel
- Iron: economical stamped coins
- Zinc alloy: die-cast for deep relief and cut-outs
- Plating: gold, silver, antique, dual plating

Brass and copper are preferred for collector pieces; zinc suits event coins with sculpted or open designs.
