This commemorative medal is a die-cast zinc alloy piece finished in an antique bronze patina, designed to celebrate the iconic Fort Boyard — the legendary 17th-century fortress off the coast of Charente-Maritime, western France. At 1.6" (40 mm) in diameter and 3 mm thick, it carries substantial weight (approx. 25 g) and feels premium in hand.

The obverse features a finely sculpted relief of Fort Boyard rising above textured wave motifs, flanked by two five-pointed stars. Above the fortress, the text reads "CHARENTE MARITIME" in an arc, with the department number "17" prominently centered. Below are "FORT BOYARD" and the smaller foundry mark "FONDEYRIE Saint Luc". A top hanging loop allows the medal to be worn as a pendant, attached to a ribbon or chain, or displayed on a stand.

Application scenarios include:• France travel souvenirs and gifts — ideal for tourists visiting Charente-Maritime, La Rochelle, or the Fort Boyard TV show studio area• City and regional commemoratives — any department, province, or landmark can replace the design• Sports event medals — custom competition medals for marathons, tournaments, and school events• Corporate custom medals — employee awards, anniversary commemoratives, brand promotional items• Tourist attraction souvenirs — castles, forts, lighthouses, bridges — any monument can be featured

The medal is cast from zinc alloy (Zinc Alloy), a material widely chosen for commemorative coins and medals due to its excellent flow characteristics in die-casting molds, producing crisp, detailed relief at a reasonable cost. The antique bronze finish is achieved through a controlled oxidation process that creates depth and an aged patina effect — no two pieces are microscopically identical, giving each medal a distinct character.

Key durability indicators:• Zinc alloy base hardness: approximately HRB 70-85, resistant to scratches and dents• Operating temperature range: -30°C to +120°C — suitable for all climates• Service life: 5+ years under normal indoor display or occasional wear conditions• Corrosion resistance: antique finish provides additional surface protection in dry indoor environments• Finish options remain stable: antique bronze, antique silver, bright gold, bright silver, and matte all undergo a sealed protective coat to prevent tarnishing within the first 12-18 months

Certifications: REACH (EU chemical safety), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), and ISO 9001 (quality management system). Full test reports are available upon request for bulk orders. The zinc alloy contains no lead, cadmium, or mercury — compliant with EU and US toy safety standards for decorative metal items.

Design services: Our in-house team can create the artwork from your reference photo or sketch. We provide a free digital mockup (rendered 3D preview) before mold production. Typical artwork proof turnaround: 1-2 business days.

MOQ: 100 pieces per custom design. Tooling (mold) cost is a one-time fee, starting at $80 for standard 1.6" size. Larger or more complex designs may incur higher tooling costs. The mold is retained for re-orders and revision runs.

Question	Answer
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?	100 pieces per custom design for standard 1.6" (40 mm) size. For larger diameters (2.0" and above), MOQ is 50 pieces. If you order our existing Fort Boyard stock design with no changes, MOQ drops to 20 pieces.
What is the typical production lead time?	Sample production: 5-7 business days after mold confirmation. Bulk production: 10-15 business days for 100-1,000 pieces. Orders of 2,000+ pieces add 3-5 business days. Mold creation: 7-10 business days for a new custom design.
Can I place a custom order with my own design and text?	Yes. You can replace the entire design with your logo, landmark, custom text, and any combination of surface finishes. We create a free 3D digital mockup before proceeding. Send your artwork (AI, PDF, CDR, or high-res JPG/PNG) and we will handle the rest.
How do I clean and maintain the antique bronze finish?	Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based wipes, or submersion in water. The antique patina is stable but can fade if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods (6+ months of continuous UV exposure). Avoid humid environments for long-term storage of bright-finish medals.
Are these medals safe for children?	The zinc alloy base is REACH and RoHS compliant, containing no lead, cadmium, or mercury. However, due to small parts (hanging loop) and a weight of ~25 g, we recommend these medals for ages 12 and above. Decorative use only — not a toy.
What file formats do you accept for custom artwork?	Vector formats: Adobe Illustrator (.ai), CorelDRAW (.cdr), PDF, EPS. Raster: high-resolution JPG or PNG at minimum 300 DPI and actual size. If you only have a photo or sketch, our design team can vectorize it for a $20 artwork conversion fee (deducted from mold cost).
Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?	Yes. Stock design samples (Fort Boyard): $10 + shipping, delivered in 5-7 business days. Custom design samples: mold cost + $15 per piece sample fee, refunded upon first production order (3,000+ pieces). Sample shipping via DHL/FedEx: $25-$50 depending on destination.
What payment methods do you accept?	T/T bank transfer (preferred), PayPal (for orders under $1,000), Western Union, and Alibaba Trade Assurance. Payment terms: 50% deposit to start production, 50% balance before shipment. For repeat customers or orders above $5,000, we offer 30% deposit / 70% against B/L copy.
How do you package medals for international shipping to prevent damage?	Each medal is poly-bagged individually, then packed with EPE foam and bubble wrap layers inside a 5-layer corrugated carton. For orders of 500+ pieces, each layer is separated by a foam sheet. We have shipped to 30+ countries with a damage rate below 0.3%.
Do you offer custom ribbon or chain options?	Yes. Standard ribbon: 0.75" (19 mm) wide grosgrain in 10 colors, $0.12/piece. Custom printed ribbon (your text/logo): MOQ 500 meters (covers ~2,500 medals). Ball chain: 0.08" or 0.1" thickness, stainless steel or nickel-plated. Beaded chain and leather cord also available.
