PROJECT CASE · BRUNEI · 100 PIECES

A clearer specification.
A coin within budget.

How a double-sided 3D zinc alloy coin project moved from an initial gold-plating request to an antique gold-toned finish, black baked paint and a feasible background texture.

The customer was unfamiliar with coin manufacturing and initially requested genuine gold electroplating. The project needed a practical specification that balanced the desired appearance, production feasibility and available budget.

FROM THE INITIAL REQUEST TO THE FINAL SPECIFICATION

Practical advice.
Clear production decisions.

01 · MATERIAL & FINISH

Review the gold-plating request.

We discussed the cost and production implications of genuine gold electroplating alongside the proposed zinc alloy base. For this project, we recommended an antique gold-toned finish with black baked paint to suit the customer’s budget and desired visual contrast.

The selected finish describes appearance, not genuine gold content. Plating compatibility and long-term appearance depend on the complete coating specification and storage conditions.

02 · BACKGROUND TEXTURE

Replace an impractical pattern.

The initial background pattern could not be reproduced as proposed. We guided the customer through our standard texture templates. They selected an alternative that could be incorporated into the production design while adding surface character.

03 · THE AGREED RESULT

Bring the details together.

The final route combined a zinc alloy base, double-sided 3D relief, antique gold-toned electroplating, black baked paint and the selected standard background texture. The order proceeded through sampling, bulk production and delivery to Brunei.

From sample
to delivery in Brunei.

  1. 7 days

    Sampling

    A physical sample was prepared before bulk production.

  2. 15 days

    Bulk production

    The 100-piece order moved through production.

  3. 7 days

    DHL delivery

    The shipment reached the customer in Brunei.

These are the reported durations for this project, rather than guaranteed lead times for a new order. Design-review time is separate; sampling, production and transit schedules are confirmed for each quotation.

BRUNEI CUSTOM COIN PROJECT · FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The project details.
Clear answers.

Answers about this 100-piece zinc alloy coin project and the details to confirm when planning a similar order.

What was the specification of this custom coin order for Brunei?

C-Creation Coins coordinated 100 zinc alloy commemorative coins for a customer in Brunei. The agreed specification combined double-sided 3D relief, antique gold-toned electroplating, black baked paint and a background texture chosen from standard templates.

Why was an antique gold-toned finish chosen instead of genuine gold electroplating?

The customer initially requested genuine gold electroplating. After reviewing the proposed zinc alloy base, production implications and available budget, we recommended an antique gold-toned finish with black baked paint. That decision applied to this project; finish selection for another coin depends on its material, artwork, coating requirements and budget.

Does an antique gold-toned zinc alloy coin contain genuine gold?

A gold-toned appearance does not establish genuine gold content. In this case, antique gold-toned electroplating describes the selected surface appearance, while zinc alloy describes the base material. Any requirement for genuine gold plating, coating thickness or material documentation should be stated and confirmed separately in the quotation.

What happens if a customer’s coin background pattern cannot be produced as drawn?

The original background pattern in this project could not be reproduced as proposed. We reviewed standard texture templates with the customer, who selected a feasible alternative to add surface character. For a new design, texture scale, placement, fine detail and compatibility with the relief and finish should be reviewed before tooling.

How long did sampling and production take for this 100-piece order?

The reported durations for this Brunei project were 7 days for sampling and 15 days for bulk production. These case-specific figures are not guaranteed lead times or a statement that every order follows the same schedule. Design review, approvals, specifications and the available production schedule must be confirmed for a new order.

Can custom commemorative coins be delivered to Brunei by DHL?

This order was shipped to Brunei by DHL, with a reported delivery time of 7 days for that shipment. Shipping options and transit estimates for a new order depend on the destination, dispatch date, shipment details and customs processing. Share the delivery address and required date when requesting a quotation.

Is 100 pieces the minimum order for custom zinc alloy coins?

No. The 100-piece quantity describes this case, not the general coin minimum. C-Creation Coins accepts custom coin inquiries from 1 piece. Tooling and setup charges still apply, and packaging can have its own minimum order quantity. Request a quotation for your chosen design and quantity.

Why have the artwork and photographs in this case study been modified?

The case images have been digitally edited and AI-adapted to help protect the customer’s design and intellectual property. Customer-specific names and wording have been substituted, selected decorative details modified, and lighting and presentation adjusted. The six-stage visuals are adapted illustrations rather than unaltered artwork, CAD files or exact photographic records of the delivered design.

What should I provide to request a similar double-sided 3D coin project?

Share your front and reverse design references, intended use, quantity, dimensions, preferred material and finish, budget range, packaging needs, delivery country and required date. You can start with an idea rather than finished artwork. If the design is confidential, request NDA arrangements before sharing sensitive files; the terms must be mutually agreed.
