1. Dual Rope Edge Construction

• Historical Authenticity: Drawing inspiration from the Germany Military's naval traditions, each rope edge replicates the aesthetic appeal of 18th-century naval medals.
• Functional Durability: The raised rope border serves to protect the central designs while enhancing tactile depth for display or handling.
• Customization Options: Clients can choose between tight-weave or broad-rope profiles to match their emblem’s era or theme, providing a personalized touch.

2. Dual-Sided 3D High-Relief Engraving

• Depth Precision: Relief heights ranging from 0.8mm to 3.0mm ensure optimal shadowing for visual impact.
• Dynamic Layering: Utilizing advanced digital sculpting techniques, our artisans achieve a 360° visual effect, ensuring every angle is visually captivating.
• Material Synergy: Zinc alloy's malleability allows for intricate undercuts without fractures, even at thicknesses up to 3.5mm.

3. Antique Bronze Electroplating Process

• Base Copper Plating: A layer of copper plating (5–8μm) is applied as a foundation.
• Matte Clear-Coat Sealing: Ensures texture preservation and longevity.
• Hand-Buffed Highlights: Raised areas receive hand-buffed highlights to enhance detail visibility.

4. Collector-Grade Materials

Each coin utilizes ZAMAK-5 zinc alloy, composed of 95% zinc, 4% aluminum, and 1% copper, ensuring dimensional stability and resistance to corrosion. This material choice is crucial for maintaining the coin's integrity over time, making it suitable for long-term collections.
