Features
Inspired by patents and blueprints
On the coin’s reverse, the laser-engraved outer rim is based on actual patent drawings and blueprint illustrations for several inventions and ideas attributed to Alexander Graham Bell. It’s an artistic celebration of science.
An early telephone
Your coin’s reverse includes a depiction of an experimental telephone transmitter built in 1876. The telephone is the invention that made Bell world famous, and the one that paved the way for his other contributions to science and technology.
A dazzling mix of engraving techniques
To ensure none of the engraved details are lost in the mix, we used different engraving techniques and frostings—like the laser-engraved outer rim—to create an interplay of light and shadows that adds depth to the design.
