Actual, Unique Hand Painted Coins from Around the World: |
||
These beautiful hand-painted coins and medallions
continue a very old art form
of a family of artists. The artist carefully selected each coin and
medallion and, choosing from
a selection of miniature curved
and straight brushes, hand painted every minute detail that already
exists in
the coin or medallion. In painstaking fashion, the artist applies color
initially to outline the design, followed by high tempered firing
process. The
firing process is repeated after each color is applied. The
hand-painting
process for each piece varies, some taking as long as two days to
complete. In
the final stage, in order to protect the delicate hand painting, the
artist
applies and bakes-on a covering of space age plastic, which also adds
depth and luster to the item while providing protection forever.
Because all of the enamels are mixed by hand at the moment of application, no two pieces are ever exactly identical, making each item truly an original. The hand-painted coin or medallion is truly a gift or keepsake to be treasured forever. Since the hand painted coin is such a delicate and unique artifact it is placed into a coin holder which is 14 K gold filled. The combination of both the holder and coin makes this artifact a treasure that could be used in a variety of ways, such as pendants, key chains, money clips, tie tacks, cufflinks, belt buckles and earrings.

Hand Painted Coins are Legal: |
Section 331 Title 18 of the US code prohibits,
among other things, the fraudulent alteration and mutilation of US and
foreign coins. For example, it is illegal to alter the date or mint
mark of an inexpensive common coin so that it has the date and mint
mark of a valuable rare coin.
This statute does not prohibit the mutilation of coins if done without fraudulent intent, or if the coins are not used fraudulently. Each painted coin comes with a description of how it was made. |
