My Roman coin

Do you like coins?

Roman emperors were depicted on coins during their reign. The side with their portrait is said “obverse”. Along the perimeter was their name.
The back side, the “reverse”, features a symbol.

Here are some tips to create your personal coin.

You need:

  • Cardboard
  • Aluminium foil;
  • White or coloured paper;
  • Pencils or markers;
  • Scissors;
  • Glue;
  • A black felt-tip pen.

1- Draw a 20 cm- diameter circle on the cardboard and cut it off;

2- Cover the cardboard with the aluminium foil;

3- print the face or draw it by yourself (image 1, image 2, image 3);
4- Cut the face off and paint it;
5- Stick the face in the centre of the coin;
6- Write the letters of your name on a paper by using a black felt-tip pen and cut them off;
7- Stick the letters along the perimeter of the coin;
8-  Turn the coin upside down, choose a symbol among our suggestions and paste it.

 

P.S: Remember that  2020 in Roman numbers becomes MMXX.
