Title:
METHOD FOR APPLYING A RELIEF IMAGE TO A COIN/TOKEN, COIN/TOKEN OBTAINED IN THIS WAY AND DIE USED FOR THIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005077674
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Coin/token (1) provided with a relief consisting of ribs (2, 12). Part of an image (9) is applied to the side (3, 4) of each rib and these parts together form the complete image. On each side the image is produced by applying raised and lowered portions. The raised portions consist of surfaces (5, 15) or plateaus that extend parallel to the lower lying portions (6, 16) or surfaces. The surface structure of the raised portions differs from the surface of the lowered portions and preferably has a matt finish. It is possible to apply part of an image to both sides of each rib, so that different images are seen when the coin/token is viewed in different directions.
