Les pièces en épreuve numismatique sont recherchées par les collectionneurs pour leur perfection. Elles portent la marque du long et minutieux travail de graveurs chevronnés. Une pièce épreuve numismatique est frappée deux ou trois fois, et parfois même davantage, afin de souligner chaque détail pictural dans le plus haut-relief possible. Le résultat : un motif d'une texture remarquable sur un fond d'une luminosité saisissante. 4, record 1, French, - pi%C3%A8ce%20%C3%A9preuve%20numismatique

La característica principal de las monedas proof es el contraste entre las imágenes mateadas y el fondo en espejo. Este efecto se consigue lanzando partículas abrasivas por medio de aire a presión sobre el cuño para matear la imagen y puliendo, posteriormente, la superficie. Además, los cospeles o discos de moneda sin acuñar tienen que ser completamente lisos. 2, record 1, Spanish, - moneda%20proof
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
En el proceso de acuñación de la moneda proof se dan tres golpes a cada moneda, y el índice de rechazo por falta de calidad es muy alto debido a que se revisan al 100% y cualquier pequeño defecto hace que la moneda sea rechazada. 2, record 1, Spanish, - moneda%20proof
