What is the 2 1/2" Antique Silver Victory Shooting Star Medal?
This is a medal in zinc alloy. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 2 1/2". This is the silver colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Plating then sets the finish. Gold, silver or bronze.
Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. The two together are why this item re-orders.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $5.67 each at 1-11, $3.52 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
Production schedule
| Proof to you | Within one business day of usable artwork arriving |
|---|---|
| Production, standard | 3 to 5 business days, counted from your approval |
| Production, rush | quoted per job, confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Transit by ground | 1 to 5 business days, by distance from the shipping point |
Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Down to $3.52 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. At $5.67 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

What do buyers ask about ST64S?
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $4.54 a piece. The published ladder on ST64S runs from $5.67 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.52 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 155 of ST64S in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on ST64S runs from $5.67 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.52 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What is the minimum order for ST64S?
ST64S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on ST64S runs from $5.67 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.52 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on ST64S is 1.5 in x 1.13 in.
