Six well-known coin designs as well as the Intaglio Mint emblem. First, the hammer struck Lydian Lion (1/3 stater), the oldest known coin. The Chinese Cash Coin, cast in medieval Asia. The Byzantine Solidus, marking the money used after the fall of the West. The Pillar Dollar, widely used by many countries as the first international currency, with the uniformity partly due to the milled coinage machines used. The Sovereign, depicting Pistrucci’s masterpiece of St. George slaying the dragon. An example of modern coin making techniques is one of America’s greatest coin designs, the Winged Liberty, more widely known as the Mercury Dime.
