How many are you planning on making? If just a few. Then just some hardwood, will be strong enough. Depending on how thick of metal you plan on pressing. There is a material called Kerksite (not sure if im spelling that right) its a metal that can be used to make several more stampings, but not 100s. Otherwise Uhmw plastic lower with a harder top is a good way to do it, unless you have access to tool steal and want to painstakingly design an upper and lower die and make stampings for life. Have you thought about a silicone mold and just making them out of fiberglass and painting them the desired color. Look up things such as Hammer forms, flow forming, etc on youtube and i think youll get several ideas.
