[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2768440, member: 19165"]Every single coin in your collection is hammered, if you collect what you say you do. The coin in your OP is hammered. Hammered refers to the method of manufacture: the coiner literally had a handheld die (the hammer die), put the planchet down on an anvil (the anvil die), and then thwacked it with a hammer. Sometimes he'd hit it more than once to bring up all the detail. Every single ancient coin was made this way, and every single medieval coin was made this way (with the exception of cast coinage).[/QUOTE]
