Coin Design Vectorization for Production

Challenge coins and medallions require clean, closed SVG paths with distinct relief areas for die production. Trace high-resolution photos of coin faces, then manually clean relief layers in Inkscape.

  • Photograph coin face in raking light for maximum relief detail
  • Trace at high node count to preserve fine raised details
  • Separate layers: background, mid-relief, high-relief elements

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert a coin photograph to SVG for 3D printing?

Convert to SVG, then extrude paths in Blender or Fusion 360 to create a 3D coin mold master for silicone casting or direct 3D print.

What resolution photo of a coin is needed for good SVG tracing?

Photograph coins at maximum camera resolution in even diffuse lighting. Raking (angled) light creates contrast that helps auto-trace distinguish relief areas.
