Materials and tools for embossing

Different types of metals are also used for minting. The main property that determines the possibility of using a material for the production of coinage is plasticity, that is, the metal must be deformed under the influence of external forces and not be destroyed in any way.

Embossing tools

Most often, craftsmen use sheet material with a thickness of 0.4 to 1 mm. For work on creating volumetric relief, materials with a greater thickness are used, for example, copper, with a thickness of about 2 mm.

Jewelers use gold and silver alloys in their work. They work a little less on sheets of red copper and alloys based on it.

Red copper has been known since ancient times. It has plasticity and the necessary viscosity, but the main thing is that this material is able to restore its plastic properties after heat treatment. Copper is easy to mint and can be formed into a variety of shapes. It is possible to perform a high drift on its surface without any particular difficulties. It is well ground and polished, but products made of copper quickly lose their shine.

Copper for minting

Copper and alloys based on it are highly resistant to corrosion. They can be stored in air for a long time without any difficulties. These and some other characteristics made it possible to use copper as a base material for volumetric and flat coinage.

In addition to copper, materials such as bronze, brass and some others are widely used.

Aluminum is fairly easy to hammer, but working with it requires a fair amount of caution. The metal has a low melting point and this is what needs to be monitored during the heat treatment process.

Product made of cupronickel

Cupronickel has the necessary degree of plasticity, can be polished well, and under the influence of certain reagents it can change color.

By the way, among metals made on the basis of aluminum, duralumin stands apart. But working with it is associated with a number of technical difficulties, so when processing it it is difficult to maintain the integrity of the sheet, meanwhile it is used to imitate silver.

In addition to non-ferrous metals, steels, in particular low-carbon ones, are also used for minting. Before work, such steels are annealed and the surface is etched. It is difficult to process with embossing tools, but it is difficult to replace in finishing. Steels of this class, as well as this roofing metal, are used to obtain large relief images that do not require careful detailing.

Steel for coining

Steels containing in their composition are a beautiful metal, but difficult to mint. It is used for monuments, monuments, etc.

When choosing a metal for minting, it is necessary to take into account that it should not be subject to delamination, there should be no defects on the surface, for example, stains, cracks, etc.

Before starting work, the metal, regardless of the brand, is subjected to heat treatment - annealing. To perform this operation, either traditional blowtorches or muffle furnaces are used. Copper is annealed at a temperature of 650 to 700 degrees, brass 620 - 650, steel 600 - 650. Various media are used for cooling, for example, cold water is used for cooling.

The main working body with which minting is carried out is the minting. They are made using forging. They are made in the form of rods of different sections and having a length of 12 to 17 cm.

When working, the coin is held in the left hand, while the elbow is suspended. This guarantees freedom of hand movement. The coin is held in such a way that it always leans back, so that the striker is slightly raised. As the striker strikes with the embossing hammer, which the craftsman holds in his other hand, the tool moves forward.
