Start Your DesignWho Academy Class Coins Are For
An academy class coin isn't just a souvenir — it's a tribute. It honors the people who carried you through the academy and marks the start of a career you'll spend the rest of your life building. Whether you're graduating from a police academy, sheriff academy, or fire academy, a class coin captures that moment permanently.
Friends & Family
For the people who stood behind you through every early morning, every long night, and every doubt. A police academy coin or fire academy coin gives them something tangible to hold onto.
Staff & Cadre
For the instructors who pushed you harder than you thought you could go. The ones who helped mold you into the officer or firefighter pinning on a badge.
The Class
For every recruit who made it to graduation day. A memento of the beginning of a great career and a reminder of what you accomplished together as a class.
What You Get

Digital Proof & Revisions
You receive a detailed proof for review before production begins. Revisions continue until you're fully satisfied with every detail.

Reorder Anytime
Your mold is kept on file. Future reorders of the same design ship with no additional mold fee and faster turnaround.
Materials & Finish Options
The standard academy class coin is 2 inches in diameter, hard enamel, with a polished metal finish — the best balance of quality, durability, and cost per unit.
Hard Enamel — Our Standard
Glass-based enamel fired at high heat and polished flush with the metal lines. Produces a smooth, flat surface with a jewelry-grade feel. Resists scratching, fading, and daily wear. This is the finish we recommend for academy class coins because these pieces are kept for decades.
3D Relief
Deep relief engraving creates raised metal details with visible depth and shadow. No enamel fill — the design is expressed entirely through sculpted metal. Best suited for bold insignias, weapons, crests, and high-detail emblems.
Hybrid
Combines enamel color with dimensional metal engraving. Raised details provide structure while enamel sections add color. A strong option when your design includes both detailed imagery and colored elements.
The Process
Every academy class coin order follows four steps.
01 — Submit Your Idea
Send us your concept: a sketch, badge image, class patch, or written description. Use our order form or email us directly at team@inservicehq.com.
02 — Confirm Details
We confirm size, quantity, timeline, finish, and design direction. If you have a budget range, we'll recommend the best configuration to meet it.
03 — Approve Your Proof
An invoice is sent to begin the design phase. You receive a detailed digital proof. Revisions continue until you approve. No production begins until you sign off.
04 — Production & Delivery
Production takes approximately 3–4 weeks. Every coin is inspected, packaged with your custom insert, and shipped directly to you. Full turnaround: 4–6 weeks for new designs. Reorders are faster.

Use Your Academy Coins as a Fundraiser
Many police academy and fire academy classes sell coins to family, friends, and department staff at a markup. A class ordering 500 coins at $4.75 each can sell them at $15–$20 and generate significant funds for class events, equipment, or memorials.
