Gold 3D coin: a logo struck into gold

A gold 3D coin is a coin blank with your mark or word struck in relief, both rendered in the same warm gold metal. In the 3DLogo.io coin studio, Gold is the default look: a reeded blank in gold with the relief in the same metal, exported as PNG, GLB, or STL.

When to use a gold 3d coin

Gold is the coin look people expect for awards, membership tokens, loyalty programmes, and anything that should read as valuable. Because the blank and the relief share one metal, the mark reads as struck rather than printed on.

Best for

  • Awards and recognition tokens
  • Membership and loyalty programmes
  • Launch and anniversary commemoratives
  • Crypto and community tokens as marketing renders

Conditions and limitations

Fine detail below the strike depth will not read; bold marks and short words work best. The render is a mockup of a struck coin; a minted coin is made from your vector by a mint. STL export gives a printable relief, not a metal casting.

Which blank edge to choose

The default for this look is Reeded: the classic currency rim; it catches light at the edge and makes the coin read as real money.

  • Reeded: Fine ridges around the edge, the classic currency rim.
  • Milled: Coarser, evenly spaced grooves; reads well at small sizes.
  • Smooth: A plain edge for medals, tokens, and modern marks.

Each link opens the coin studio with the look, blank, and colours set; bring your own mark or word.

How to make a gold 3d coin on 3DLogo.io

  1. Open the coin studio and upload a mark (SVG or a high-contrast PNG) or type a word.
  2. Pick Gold in the Look panel; choose reeded, milled, or smooth.
  3. Set the relief depth and the mark scale so the strike reads at coin size.
  4. Choose Still or a motion such as Spin or Tumble.
  5. Export PNG for a mockup, GLB for 3D, or STL to print the relief.

Exports and what Free includes

Coins export as PNG (1024 px free, 2K and 4K on Pro), as GLB with the metal material, or as STL for printing. Free exports carry a small 3dlogo.io mark; Pro removes it and adds HD MP4 of the coin in motion.

Gold 3D coin questions

Is the gold coin generator free?
Yes. The coin studio, every look and blank, and PNG, GLB, and STL export are free without an account, with a small 3dlogo.io mark on free files. Pro removes it and adds 4K stills and HD MP4.
Can the relief be a different colour from the blank?
Yes. The coin and the relief have separate colour wells; the deep link parameters coin and logo set them.
Can I get this minted?
The studio makes the render and a printable STL relief. Minting in metal is a separate service that works from your vector artwork.
