What was the coin pictured here in the last year or 2 that looked like it had a 3d effect

mrdq

of a hall in a building or something.... anyone remember that?

I think it was one of Farthing's medals, very cool design as I recall.

"3d effect"

I remember it well...it was a medal and the reverse had you looking down the hall of some building...a cathedral maybe? I remember seeing one up close at the last Santa Clara Expo and man, that thing is coooool.

Oh, you mean a 3-D effect, perhaps this one?

farthing

You are probably referring to the Papal medal in Wybrits link


I also like this one from Pope Pius IX



I wish I could say that I own either one

Those are awesome pieces.

I do own these 2 plus a few of the 50mm Wiener Belgium medals:

Notre Dame - 59mm


St. Paul's Cathedral - 59mm
