The Coin Strike History
The coin mint, an industrialized tool of the Renaissance era, revolutionized the process of coin making by significantly enhancing its accuracy over the previous hand-hammered technique. Michael Stewart, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical descriptions, designed and constructed the "drop hammer" coin mint, a true marvel of engineering. The machine utilized precise amounts of accelerated gravity to operate, where a 150 lb. hammer was raised to a towering height of 9 feet. Once in position, the coins were positioned between two dies, and the machine would strike them with a jaw-dropping force of 40 tons, a testament to the machine's incredible power and precision.
Our representational art is imbued with positive energies that can move and inspire you, helping you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself. The profound messages conveyed by the symbols in our art can lead to a more creative and fulfilling journey of self-discovery.
