Lettering was introduced to protect against the filing and falsification of coins; today, it serves primarily as ornamentation. Intaglio lettering is machine-engraved onto the edge of a coin before striking while raised lettering on the edge of a coin is produced by the use of a segmented collar die at the time of striking. 2, record 1, English, - lettered%20edge
