What's the difference between a commemorative coin and a memorial coin?

A commemorative coin celebrates an occasion — an anniversary, a graduation, a founding, a milestone event. A memorial coin honors a person or a loss: fallen officers and service members, departed colleagues, in-remembrance keepsakes for family and friends. The design language differs too — memorial coins tend toward understated finishes like antique silver and black nickel, while commemorative designs are usually celebratory. We craft both with the same free artwork and unlimited revisions.
