Cool, I'll call in and see you next time I'm up that way :good: now to these coins, I'm not sure but i think Mark said they are like inkjeted on so if it's anything like my printer I'd say you got one of the last one's before it ran out of ink..could very well be wrong but it's a just thought

I think your wrong, no one has made any commentary on how these coins are made or what the process is in getting the ink on the coin???

eh it would be the same as the Perth Mint process, probably used the same machines just calibrated differently, cos I don't see the Royal Australian Mint spending money on a new machine for a 1 time thing on a item like this.
the process look like it was done on a partially frosted centre on the $2 coin, then the machine does the pad printing process on the surface, someone added the link to the PM youtube pad printing process before go and have a look it shows the process

[robbiegal]

not quite so true

there was heaps posted about the process
in another thread i think
i recall asking Mark for the condensed version!

he posted a link to the Canadian process anyways

i might remember the thread ... it's somewhere around here
anyways, just call the ram and ask for the production dept. tell the bloke there about your coin
they may ask that you send it in for them to go over

they have a fairly new production manager and he is pretty keen to do the job well

heres a more simpler one for US circulation type, quick and easy, it would only need one stamp as only one layer of colour is being applied to the surface https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kIRizqq6ug unsure what paint or enamel would be used but it is still interesting
got a few spare MB go and have a looksee at the colourful change website entry's peeps, my favourite is the black and white to colour clip, makes you smile, good job peeps who have entered http://colourfulchange.com.au/entries/view/42
I only seen two, don't bother with the bottom one from the RAM kinda pointless, but they started the ball rolling with clip entry's

how could you have a flipped over double strike from the 13th century?
what sort of a press would that have been made in?

No presses in those days, the anvil die was set into a block, then a blank placed on it. The hammer die sat on the blank then hit with a hammer.


What the coin generally looks like, the obverse on this one doesn't have the inner circle of beads.
