Silver Coin design.

 

This isn't a reality yet, but I would like it to be when I have the cash to do it and find people who can produce it. I welcome feedback and interest!

 

It's my own original design concept. It has an art deco inspired 'webbing' motif with straight lines tilting 2 degree increments out from center, with an attractive mix of matte and mirror finish. At the center is a contoured torch, and a stylized flame in a mostly mirrored finish. Current tentative name is Vigilance Dollar. I'm thinking of leaving the front clean like this, and placing weight/purity on the back with a quote and/or portrait of a great pro-liberty thinker. It would be just as much a piece of art as it would be meant for barter.

Very beautiful.

Why not go for gold and have 'Live Free or Die' engraved on the other side of the coin...

Thanks for the information. I signed up at both of their sites. There isn't very much activity, and they don't seem to have any solutions beyond the ones I've already identified.

 

Also, their contest is over so I probably couldn't design something and submit it... supposedly many of the entries don't even meet the rule requirements.
