A sheet of debossable plastic material is bonded to a backing plate, which may be a metal plate preferably pre-formed in a coin die. A polished surface on the edges of the metal plate projects beyond the plastic sheet material. The combined effect of the debossable plastic material, with a brushed metallic appearance, and the backing plate with polished edges greatly enhances an appearance of an engraved metal plate. This basic unit may be used in combination with other structures to form plaques, frames, name badges, and the like. When used in some combinations, such as a picture in a frame of the plastic sheet, for example, the components may be pre-assembled into a complete packet before attachment to a stand.
