Project Description
The University of Texas at Austin Challenge Coin is a memento for freshman. It's a reminder that they belong to a community, their class graduation year and the University's rich legacy. Graduating in four years is a challenge and one UT Austin issued to all freshman entering the fall of 2014.Production Lesson(s)
Specify everything. The production proof of the box included a recessed area for the coin. This wasn't specified, but it was a nice touch by the box maker. In the final delivered product, the area where the coin rested was not recessed. A minor detail but still a lesson learned. You must specify every detail as you would like it. Custom boxes are more expensive than custom coins.
