Hammered Gold Coins

 
Hammered Gold Coins were the early way that coins were minted.
 
They were literally hit with a hammer on to a die which shaped the coin.
All coins from Greek and Roman and Celtic times up until the late 18th century were made like this.
A circular blank gold disc was carefully placed next to a die and the two were hit together to show the impression of the coin.
Coins were seldom struck centrally and dishonest people would shave or clip the blank areas outside the coin shape and these would be melted down and sold to Goldsmiths and Jewellers
Medieval Hammered Gold Coins are some of the most beautiful and collectible coins ever minted.
