Yes. Embleholics produces custom patches alongside challenge coins, and we have made them for units and organisations that already had a coin from us.

Patches and coins serve different purposes, which is why many units order both. A patch goes on a uniform, flight suit, jacket or bag and is worn where people see it. A coin is carried, handed over personally and kept. The same crest works for both.

What transfers from a coin design to a patch:

  • The crest or insignia itself, usually with little change.
  • The colour scheme, though enamel colours and thread or woven colours are matched differently and will not be identical.
  • Not the relief. A coin design relying on 3D sculpting or antique finish needs rethinking for a flat format, where outline, fill and stitch direction do the work instead.

If you are planning both, mention it at the design stage. A crest drawn with both formats in mind works better than one adapted afterwards.
