An Incredibly Intricate Mechanical Coin Sculpture
Russian engineering artist Roman Booteen, who creates absolutely gorgeous, intricate carvings on retired coins, has continued his painstaking bas-relief work with metal currency. His most recent work includes sword-grasping hand that mechanically flexes inside a 1921 US Dollar coin through the use of a push-button hidden along the coin’s edge.
