These are great !

Some must have taken ages to construct.
I hope he used non-numismatically wonderful coins.

Are they for sale ?

Could I have a link to the previous coin art instalment, please ?

Very cool. I think the Hong Kong 10 cent work is my favourite.

I feel just a little uneasy, but find them interesting.

I agree.
I wonder how it was cast.

Companies like J&M will cast your designs with all kinds of metals. I would imagine that some kind of a reverse reduction lathe was used to increase the size. Or with 3d scanners and printers it's pretty easy to do it on computer.

Check out my previous threads and you'll find my previous art post.
