Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

That won't make coins. It will make the outlines. Molds are reversed. The raised parts are what won't appear on the final blank, while the cavities hold the finished details. This is the opposite of that.

Sorry, so your issue here is that the specific piece alone doesn't make coins?
