In a world of mass-produced trinkets and throwaway novelty, there’s something quietly satisfying about holding a piece of real craftsmanship. Solid metal, cool to the touch. Natural wood, shaped and polished by hand.
That’s the idea behind our new Coin & Oak Collection each motto coin or heritage token is crafted from solid brass or if you prefer, solid aluminium, paired with a CNC-milled oak, unique lozenge-shaped display stand. A piece designed not just to carry meaning, but to be seen.
Available in 40mm or 50mm diameters, 3mm brass or 4mm Aluminium.

Why the Display Matters
Most momento coins end up tucked away in drawers or pockets. We wanted to change that.
By adding a simple oak stand, each coin transforms from a token into a keepsake worthy of display, something that sits proudly on a desk, shelf, or workshop bench. The solid oak base displays the coin perfectly, turning it into a small piece of art that feels as strong as the story it represents.
It’s a subtle difference, but it changes everything: the coin stops being a pocket medallion and becomes a statement piece, something that invites curiosity and conversation, wherever it’s displayed.
Solid Foundations
Every coin begins as a blank of solid brass or aluminium, precisely engraved on our fibre laser here in the UK. The oak stands are machined on-site from reclaimed or sustainably sourced timber, each one with its own natural grain and character. These are all symbols of strength and longevity.
No two sets are ever quite alike, and that’s exactly the point. You’re not buying a stamped-out token from a factory line; you’re owning something that’s been made and finished by hand with intent.
More Than a Token
Over time, our momento coins have come to mean many different things to different people symbols of courage, remembrance, freedom, faith, unity, or simply belonging to something bigger.
The Coin & Oak series takes that further. Each design represents a story, a reminder to keep close, display proudly, and pass on when the time is right.
These aren’t just collectables; they’re small anchors of meaning handcrafted in brass and oak.
Limited Designs, Lasting Value
Because each piece is engraved and finished individually, quantities are limited based on client requirements. We release small batches of coins, usually made in collaboration with specific causes or groups. Once they’re gone, that design won’t return in the same form.
This isn’t about chasing trends, it’s about creating things worth keeping.
Handmade in Britain, Built to Last
Whether you’re drawn to the heritage feel of solid brass, the warmth of oak, or simply the satisfaction of owning something genuinely made, every piece in the Coin & Oak Collection carries that shared spirit of craftsmanship.
