cold striking


Explanation:
sau cold-striking

http://www.archaeologystudent.com/coinarch/paper.htm
Two methods were used in ancient Roman coin minting: the cold striking of coins and the hot striking of coins. With the assumption that Roman mints were primarily concerned with efficiency, this experiment set out to find which method was preferable for different types of silver coinage—nearly pure silver and debased silver coins.

Cold metal working is a process that changes the surface of metals without using heat. It contains various techniques to create shapes, textures and the connections between two metal pieces. These techniques are the basic ingredients for any jewelry maker. To begin making jewelry, you will need to understand the methods and have the basic tools. Once you do, your creative spirit can flow and you'll be able to design any type of jewelry that you desire.
