Coin design refers to the artistic and technical process of creating the images and inscriptions that appear on coins. This includes selecting themes, symbols, and text that represent a nation’s culture, history, or values. Designers often work with engravers to translate their ideas into three-dimensional reliefs that can be minted. The design process also considers practical aspects, such as the coin's size, weight, and material. Coins must be durable and easy to handle, while also being visually appealing. The United States Mint and other national mints employ skilled artists to ensure that each coin reflects its intended significance and purpose.
