Hard enamel: Polished smooth surface, premium look, higher cost, baking 150°C + polishing. Die struck: No color, raised design only, lowest cost. For military unit coins with detailed 3D logos, soft enamel is standard.

A 20ft container (28 CBM) holds approximately 518,000 coins theoretically. With master cartons (assume 500 coins per carton, carton 30x20x15cm = 0.009 CBM), about 3,111 cartons = 1,555,500 coins. For 500 coins, sea freight LCL from 2 CBM is cost-effective.

A thermal shock test is performed on 5% of each batch: heat to 80°C for 1 hour, then immerse in 20°C water. No cracking or peeling is acceptable. For orders above 200 coins, we provide a video of the test. The enamel is also UV-resistant to prevent fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton data-open-header-quote=\"\" type=\"button\" class=\"header-cta-btn header-cta-btn--quote\"\u003eGet a Quote\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
