Can circuit board artwork and small text be struck into metal cleanly?

Yes, within limits our art team will flag on your proof. Circuit traces need enough weight to hold a raised edge after striking — hair-thin lines in the source artwork come out of the die as a smudge — so we thicken them slightly rather than reproducing a schematic literally.

Depth usually does more than color here. Antique plating darkens recessed areas, so a circuit pattern cut into antique silver reads as shadow with no enamel at all, which is why so many cybersecurity coins are monochrome. Binary strings around a rim also strike well and are a good place to encode a date or unit designation.
