Custom Medals That Honour and Endure
At Cash’s Awards, our custom medals and medallions are more than just metal — they’re symbols of recognition, tradition, and achievement. Whether you're commemorating service, celebrating athletic success, or marking a lifetime contribution, your medal should reflect the depth of that moment. We specialise in designing and delivering medals that are worthy of the people who earn them. With no minimum order quantity, full program support, and the trust of institutions like the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Australian Football League (AFL), we build medals that hold lasting meaning.

Medal Types & Options
We believe medals should be as unique as the moments they celebrate. That’s why we offer a wide variety of medal types to match your purpose, aesthetic, and budget. Whether you need a timeless military design or a bold event-based statement, we’ve got you covered.
Our expert team will help you select the best type and construction approach based on your vision, use case, and quantity. All medals are designed and built from scratch — no generic templates, no stock designs.
Popular styles include:
Stamped Medals – Clean-lined and cost-efficient, great for schools or fun runs
Cast Medals – Rich detail and 3D relief, perfect for formal honours and championship pieces
Challenge Coins – Used by military, corporates, and teams for collectible recognition
Custom Shapes – From shields to state outlines, anything is possible
Dual-Sided Pieces – Add extra value with front and back messaging or engraving
We use premium materials like zinc alloy, brass, and even precious metals to give each medal the right weight and feel.
Sizes, Finishes & Presentation
Design is only one part of what makes a medal memorable. How it feels in hand, how it’s worn, and how it’s presented all contribute to the recipient’s experience. That’s why we allow complete flexibility across all physical features.
From a compact event token to a weighty lifetime service medal, every dimension and finish is tailored to suit the occasion. We also offer full branding for ribbons and packaging — ideal for schools, sporting clubs, and government programs.
Custom options include:
● Size & Weight – From sleek and light to solid and substantial
● Finishes – Antique bronze, shiny gold, matte silver, black dye, dual plating
● Engraving – Custom text on one or both sides, including serials or names
● Ribbons – Printed, coloured, or logo-branded — woven to match your brand
● Packaging – Choose velvet boxes, transparent cases, display cases or eco sleeves
Every touchpoint, from ribbon to box, reinforces the meaning behind your recognition.
