Hand Engraved Scrollwork On A Silver Half Rupee Indian Coin good 1944

good Hand engraved coin. In a style of hobo nickels. Using coins as the backdrop for sculpture, carving or engraving has a long history. Often given as love tokens or collected as objects of art. I used a 1944 silver half rupee from India and embellished it with hand drawn scrollwork inspired by Art Nouveau designs. The remaining artwork is original coin stamping.
