Subiect: Minting metal coin, mean to impress a given relief model on both coin faces and also on the edge. Due to the high striking pressure, the round blank material is forced to fiii the inner space between dies. In the past, for less coin value, the coin edge remained cylindrical, without any inscription. Following the increased coin value, it was introduced a security feature against forgery; on the coin edge, model could be toothed or inscribed with relief or incuse text logo. Besides the coin edge basic design, a various amount of coin edge variant types are released. In the paper there are studied some particularities on some old Romanian metal coin edge impressed with embossed text and, respectively, with incuse text by punching. There are introduced some general aspects about the coin edge manufacturing and there are also presented some particular examples.
