Looking at the coin, I'd say the upper lip (maybe the nostril) is in the middle of the relief, neither highest nor lowest. Use the zoom function to zoom-in to the lip or nostril area at 100%, and then click the focus buttons manually until the lips are at best focus. This is called "critical focusing". Once you find the critical focus, immediately snap the shot.
