Bas-Relief ‘Hobo Nickel’ Sculptures Carved into Coins by Paolo Curcio

Artist Paolo Curcio craves tiny bas-relief sculptures into coins—a traditional art form known as the hobo nickel. Curcio’s coins feature intricately detailed hobos, skulls and a variety of pop culture characters. Plastic castings of his works are available online. Here’s our previous post on Skull Nickels.
