Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

What are you talking about? Just do a search for chinese coin and this are the perfect mold for them.
I do this for a living. This mold won't work. The material won't flow into the raised areas...only the cavities. You will end up with rings, and nothing in the middle.
Thickness will depend how close the other half of the mould sits, when the casting occurs.
So...what does that tell you about the rings around the outside of coins faces?
