Classification

In the CPV, coins and medals share the code 18512000, with 18512100 for coins and 18512200 for medals, inside the jewellery and related articles group 18510000. Badges and insignia are often classified elsewhere, for example with uniforms, so keyword alerts work better than codes alone in this niche. Related notices appear under security printing tenders and defence tenders.

What manufacturers should check

These are specialist contracts that appear only occasionally. Buyers usually set exact metal composition, weight, diameter and finish tolerances, ask for samples or prototypes, and impose security requirements on production, storage and transport. Central bank and mint tenders may be limited to pre-qualified producers. Confirm who owns the dies and designs, and how rejected batches are handled.

Catching rare notices

Because notices are infrequent, a saved alert is the practical way to catch them. Tender Impulse emails new notices as soon as they are published, and subscribers can request the full documents and have them translated at no extra cost. The free live demo shows how alerts and filters work.
