<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steven Michael Gardner, post: 4377096, member: 97508&quot;]As an wildlife artist that does some fairly detailed artwork, much with the aid of computers, photoshop, photo model scrap, a steady hand and in the end the ability to reduce in size my creation digitally for the final product... However I could never imagine being able to create a detailed portrait of an Emperor or the intricate reverse images all fit on a 15 millimeter or even smaller coin surface...???&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The kinds of questions I think about is what process these artists of ancient coins used to create realistic same size images for coin use of these times????&nbsp;&nbsp; As we all know someone had to do the first die of any coin that is seen today...!</p><p><br /></p><p>Below are just a few of the personal examples that I can study in hand and find fascinating to pick apart &amp; ponder ---- How it was done?</p><p>[ATTACH]1104119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1104120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1104121[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
