Creating this striking cut-out coin is a painstaking process. First, a small hole is drilled in the chosen coin. Then a very fine jeweler's saw-blade is put through the hole and worked by hand around the coin's design, cutting away the background. This leaves the coin's figure floating inside the coin's outer edge, or rim. The figure is then selectively layered, by hand, in Brilliant Gold & Brilliant Silver.
