Here are the steps to creating an elongated coin

STEPS GeoPirate.com CKayaks.com Proposal
 If the customer has finished art or a sketch we use it to create the mockup. Most of the time the customer just has an idea of what they want.

For the CKayak.com coin a composite sketch was made from two photos. The background came from the top picture  (Red kayak) and the foreground from the middle picture (yellow kayak)





An elongated coin with the words...

"Tua Will You Marry Me? Love Gerry"

We create a mockup for the customer to approve. Sometimes this is as simple as cropping the original.
We send the mockup to our engraver who engraves the image on a steel die and sends it back to us Coming Soon  Coming Soon  Coming Soon
We put the die in either our hand crank or electric machine and out comes the finished coins. Coming Soon  Coming Soon  Coming Soon
