Wedding Coin
Instruction
Information
Here is my final project for 2025 and a look into what I am going to be working on over the next year. I really like working with coins and metal and hope to expand into the metal engraving sooner than later. For the time being, working with the F2, I am learning about colors and brass and just etching coins. One of my projects is this Wedding Coin.
It is tradition in many cultures to present money and a symbolic coin (or set of coins) to wish the new couple wealth and security, trust and honesty. That is how this coin came about. You can engrave whatever you want on the reverse although I do include a possible back.
Instruction
Step1: Before you begin
I started with this project using various recommended test grids to gain a color scheme. When I could not get what I wanted, I started to make my own test grids…and used a lot of coins in the process…lol.
I used the 40mm brass coins from xTool. I have used other coins but these are exceptionally well made and give very clear engraves with some great heft. I can't recommend these coins enough. If you want to purchase them, follow this link to get yours:
This was made with the F2 using the C engrave settings. The image of the couple was generated with AIMake and then traced.
I selected the traced image and released the compound vector so each part was its own separate piece. Next I selected each piece (Multiples if they were going to be the same color) and used the test grids I created to add in the tones I wanted for the selected piece/pieces. I continued to do this until I had every piece colored and moved.
This was fun to do and I am looking forward to getting into more complex pieces as I become accustomed to doing this.
Step2: Engrave your Coin
Be sure the coin is clean and free of dust and debris. Use the camera function of the F2 to center the design on the coin and then run the framing just to be sure the design is sitting where you want on the coin.
Using the same coin and the F2, you can use the settings above to achieve the result I did. There are color variations and I am sure with work, these colors could become more vivid.
Step3: If you like this
I work hard to create various items. With this plan, I now have 100 items that are either completely and wholey designed by me or, in the case of 2 plans, remixes of exceptional products.
If you like this design and what to check out my other projects, please do so at the following link. It will really help me out if you visit them and at least give them a thumbs up if you like them.
