<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 362665, member: 6370&quot;]Okay, I use Nitric already for my zinc plates and I do believe I have some Hydrochloric sitting around as well so that should be no problem at all. Its good to hear that I am going down a good path so far.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The look I am going for is something like this:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/coins/8a_s.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/coins/8_s.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>although I think I am going to do a version of this:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/coins/2_s.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>a quarduped reverse with a bust obverse with helmet and shield.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What I had in mind was possibly finding some king from roughly this time who might not have a known coin, and minting a coin of him. I think the toughest thing will be getting the inscription so that it looks authentic from the time period. The text on these coins are so difficult. I had an idea of using some of the known Pictish designs to make a fantasy Pict coin. But first I am just going to make a simply coin like above, possibly with no inscriptions as a test.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All these designs use mainly just lines and dots.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/coins/39_s.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
