Hobo nickel is the most common term for the art of carving coins, giving them a new life. In this art, Roman Booteen from Russia is a master.
He works mainly with old coins which are made of several layers of metal - and he takes advantage of it when creating his images and textures.
The 1896 and the 1921 coins hurt me yes now they are art but those 2 coins were probably worth alot more before being carved.
It is hard to say if the value as art is greater than the numistic value of those old coins.
The designs and detail were cool though.
