English

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

Qualifying the relatively flat elements of a motif on the field of a coin.

OBS

To obtain this effect, the die is designed with shallow devices. Coins designed with a low relief do not require extra pressure for striking, thus expanding die life and making the coins easier to stack.

French

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

Se dit des éléments du motif d'une pièce peu élevés par rapport au champ de la pièce.

OBS

Pour obtenir cet effet, le coin est conçu avec des éléments principaux peu saillants. Les pièces en bas-relief n'exigent pas une pression accrue à la frappe, ce qui augmente la durée des coins et rend les pièces faciles à empiler.

OBS

Pluriel : bas-reliefs.
