Subject field(s)
  • Coins and Bank Notes
  • Numismatics
  • Coining
OBS

When a coin with such a lustre is twisted around in proper lighting, shiny rays appear to rotate as the spokes of a turning wheel; casted phony coins do not display this effect.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pièces de monnaie et billets de banque
  • Numismatique
  • Monnayage
OBS

Ce rayonnement est dû au métal vivement repoussé vers la virole par la pression des coins au moment de la frappe. Les pièces en nickel sont le plus susceptibles d'afficher cette caractéristique.
