Brass Coin Logo Engraving - with carbide V Groove

I know a diamond brag bit would be better, but I read that I could use a carbide bit to try engraving my logo into brass coins also - and at $12, I figured it was worth a shot even if I waste the bit.
But can anyone point me in the right direct on feeds and speeds?
Using a S5P 4x4 w/ 65mm spindle. 60 degree 4 flute 1/4’’ v groove bit on brass.
Thanks

The diamond bit should score the surface. If you want defined lines/depth I would use an engraving bit.

Here is the info for the 2 Flute engraving tool in Aluminum. It’s a start point.
I would think you want to get the chips out
