Qualifying the raised elements of a motif projecting from the background of a coin. 1, record 1, English, - in%20high%20relief
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
To obtain this effect, the die has to be designed so as to create a deep, concave field upon the surface of a coin, for maximum contrast with the devices or raised parts of the coin. Coins designed with a high relief require the use of increased pressure for striking, thus shortening die life and making the coins harder to stack. 1, record 1, English, - in%20high%20relief

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Pour obtenir cet effet, le coin doit être conçu de façon à créer un champ concave d'où ressortiront davantage les éléments principaux du motif. Les pièces en haut-relief exigent plus de pression à la frappe pour un meilleur résultat, ce qui réduit la durée des coins et rend les pièces difficiles à empiler. 1, record 1, French, - en%20haut%2Drelief
