The Process Involved in Making the Medals

Résumé

This paper presents a method that was experienced in the laboratory to manufacture a medal. There are three general techniques used to make medals: repoussé, striking and casting. Serigraphy technique is the most chosen for a relief type as it is the fastest and least expensive to produce. The final result is a unique work of art, with examples of the same medal exhibiting subtle variations in color and surface detail.
