[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 24881408, member: 73995"]It's been since the ancients that coins were made with any type of high relief. There might be a few out there. I can think of the 1921 Peace dollar, it's portrait and reverse were higher than the rims. This caused all kinds of problems striking them and stacking them. Medals are a little bit different. Medals weren't intended to be stacked and counted. Still there are a few modern medals that are high relief and possibly even higher than the Louis Vllll above. Here are a few from the 70's. Struck in the early 60's by Medalic Art. .9999 22.8g, about 3/16ths of an inch in relief. [ATTACH=full]1597615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1597616[/ATTACH] and also in copper/bronze. 19.8g [ATTACH=full]1597617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1597618[/ATTACH] This Ike inauguration medal is at least a 1/4". [ATTACH=full]1597619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1597620[/ATTACH] Your Seleucid is nice I like it. The relief on the Claudius AS. Ric 95 is fairly high relief and what drew me into buying it.
