OBS

La conception d'une nouvelle pièce de monnaie commence, sur la planche à dessin de l'artiste, par une ébauche à grande échelle qui indique la forme et l'agencement de tous les éléments du motif. Lorsque le motif de la pièce est arrêté, on le réduit à l'échelle de la pièce à l'aide du tour à réduire.
