What size should a soccer flipping coin be?

Between 1.5" and 1.75" for a coin that’s actually going to be tossed. That range fits a referee’s hand, flips cleanly, and still leaves room for a club crest or association mark on both faces. Stay near the standard 3 mm thickness too — a 4 mm or 6 mm coin lands heavy and short rather than tumbling.

Larger 2" designs are better used for presentation coins handed out at the end of a season than for the coin the official carries onto the pitch. See design examples on our custom soccer referee coins page.
