Interesting. But how so heavy?
That’s a sharp observation, @JanEmil.
The weight of 100g is the result of three specific goals I planned back in 2014:
Exhibition Quality: I wanted this piece to stand out as a Monument alongside its dedicated stand in a gallery or exhibition setting.
Physical Presence: The 70mm diameter, 4mm thickness, and 100g weight were designed to command everyone's attention by its mere existence.
Seamless Grip: I spent a long time refining the CAD data to ensure it fits naturally and smoothly in the palm.
In the case of this specific mold, a manufacturing tolerance of 100g (±7g) is commonly accepted and applied throughout the production process.
I wasn't just making a coin; I was carving the belief of 2014 into metal. I will soon share the 2D/3D design video that shows the engineering behind this monument. Stay tuned!
