Informative Coin Design - City Series

In our daily transactions, we all come across different coins. For most of us, these transactions are boring and most of us do not bother to look at the design and features of the coin. This is because the majority of coins have the same design features.

In my opinion, a coin should be designed in a way that not only serves its purpose but also gives some information about your country, personality, landmarks, or any other information that is useful for the consumer, especially children.

Keeping this in mind I have designed a set of regular circulating coins (City Series). Each coin contains the same design on the Observe side, but a different design on the Reverse side which contains the image of the City landmark, the City name, and a tagline about that city that highlights it.

Currently, six cities have been designed but many more can be added. The bi-metallic option is also designed which makes the coin more attractive.
