Collegiate mace is a traditional symbol of institutional excellence

collegiate maceMedalcraft Mint produces high-quality collegiate mace in the USA

The collegiate mace has served ceremonial purposes for colleges and universities for hundreds of years. These ornate staffs are growing in popularity again due to the development of modern design capabilities and a desire by institutions to integrate a classic touch into official events.

The tradition of the mace goes all the way back to the Middle Ages, when staffs were used as weapons during a more brutal time. Today’s role for the mace is as a ceremonial symbol of an important event. A mace bearer carries the collegiate mace in front of a school leader during processions or places it in a nearby stand during speeches.

“We have seen an increase in the number of institutions requesting new or updated collegiate mace designs,” says Jerry Moran, owner and chief executive officer at Medalcraft Mint, a Wisconsin-based designer and manufacturer of collegiate maces. “Schools are telling us they want their new mace to stand the test of time.”

Medalcraft Mint specializes in collegiate mace production

Medalcraft Mint, a nationally recognized manufacturer of police coins, collegiate medals and other custom commemoratives, works with academic institutions ranging from small private colleges to large universities in creating long-lasting symbols of excellence.

A collegiate mace is comprised of a staff made from high-quality wood, a stand and a base. Medalcraft Mint uses a die-striking process to produce superior images on the metal components of the collegiate mace, and the company’s experts can assist with training in proper care of the unit to ensure it remains attractive for years to come.
