    This is the obverse of the Augustus version of the Livia/Pax PONTIF MAXIM Tribute Penny coin. I was trying to take a better pic of it and failed - it's quite a dark coin and the photo' either showed little or was too contrasty (I was only using my old 'phone). Anyway, there was a Pop Art (or somesuch) filter which produced a half-decent effect:

    So - let's see any and all artistic coin effects!

    LOL. Very cool!

    I’m not sure it counts as artistic, but I once messed around with an app that did this to the portrait on my JC denarius.

    Haha I love 'em. If a glorified photoshop effect on a soup can can make Warhol a famous artists then these should make you the new Leonardo da Vinci ;)
