Some people use a type of ring stretching/sizing machine. They are muscle-powered but not especially cheap.
It can also be done using a jeweler's doming or dapping block and a set of appropriate domed punches to gradually bend the metal from a washer into a band. They are also not cheap, however.
The cheapest way would probably be to use a steel ring mandrel and a rawhide or plastic mallet. Whatever method you choose, it would be best to begin by annealing the coin with a torch to make the metal easier to work.
Making a ring like that takes a bit of skill and knowledge, no matter how easy it may look online. Screwing up is part of the learning process. You could try practicing on old British or Canadian large cents, or some other cheap, large coin. The key is to bend the metal evenly without stretching it too much, though some stretching will occur.
