Mauquoy Token Company is expanding its capabilities for custom tokens with latent images: hidden images that only become visible when a token is viewed from the correct angle. The technique gives metal tokens a premium appearance while simultaneously adding an extra layer of security against simple counterfeiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes an advanced form of coin security now also available for applications such as vending machine tokens, event tokens, promotional tokens, entertainment tokens , and closed payment systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hidden images from the right viewing angle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a latent image, an image, logo, number, or short text is subtly incorporated into the relief of the token. At first glance, the image remains hidden. Only when the token is tilted or viewed under a specific lighting angle does the hidden image appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a visual effect that is both decorative and functional. The token takes on a more exclusive appearance, while the hidden image can simultaneously serve as a recognizable security feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latent images are primarily known from the world of official coins, banknotes, and secure valuables . On euro banknotes, too, certain security elements are only visible under a specific viewing angle or lighting conditions. By now applying this technique to custom tokens as well, Mauquoy Token Company opens up new possibilities for companies and organizations that want to provide extra protection for their tokens, coins, or medals against simple copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra security for tokens with value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCustom tokens are increasingly being used as a means of payment, admission ticket, promotional product, or as part of a closed payment system. In those applications, recognizability is essential,\u201d says Vincent Van Hecke, Managing Director at Mauquoy Token Company. \u201cWith latent images, we add an extra layer of security that can be verified with the naked eye but is more difficult to copy using standard production techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For organizations that circulate tokens with a specific value, an additional visual check can be important. This applies to car washes , casinos, laundromats, fairs, amusement parks, parking lots, and arcades, among others. A latent image makes it easier to identify genuine tokens and helps reduce the risk of counterfeiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the technology also offers aesthetic added value. A hidden logo, symbol, or short text gives a token a more technical, exclusive, and high-quality appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications in vending machines, events, and closed payment systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The technology can be applied to a wide range of metal tokens: vending machine coins for vending , car washes , gaming machines, and attractions, but also festival tokens, promotional tokens, collector tokens, and tokens for recreation parks or corporate events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hidden image can combine multiple functions. It can serve as a security feature, a visual control mechanism, or a subtle reinforcement of brand identity. In this way, a token becomes not only functional but also more recognizable and harder to counterfeit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New personalization option for custom tokens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The development aligns with Mauquoy Token Company’s expertise in designing and producing custom metal tokens. For functional tokens, not only design and finish play a role, but also technical parameters such as material selection, diameter, thickness, weight, edge finish, and relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially when tokens are used in vending machines or electronic coin validators, these properties must be precisely aligned. The addition of latent images now offers customers an additional opportunity to combine functionality, security, and appearance in a single token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can now choose tokens that are visually recognizable, technically reliable, and equipped with a hidden security element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available for new token projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new technology is available for custom token projects where extra security, brand recognition, or a high-quality appearance is desired. Mauquoy Token Company guides clients in choosing the right design, material, size, and security level, ensuring the token aligns perfectly with the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
