A brief annotation | The coin is presented in the category of original technology because of its unique in the world industry, extremely detailed and high relief. Also pad printing precision is really extraordinary and amazing. The series of the gothic cathedrals depicts the most famous gothic cathedrals of the world with their most characteristic views and features, as well as symbols reminding most known facts about them. Each coin contains one of the most characteristic stained glass windows of a particular cathedral in a round form. The printed stained glass windows on both sides of the same coin are “mirrored” so that an impression of a real glass window is produced. |
