EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, capturing the essence of a coin maker at work. Created in 1849 by Jost Amman, this wood engraving is a 19th-century rendition based on an original piece from the Renaissance era. The image showcases the intricacies of coinage production during that time. In this bustling workshop scene, we witness a male coin maker diligently hitting his tools against metal discs, shaping them into coins. Surrounding him are onlookers who observe with curiosity and admiration for this skilled profession. Through the window behind them, we catch glimpses of people going about their daily lives outside. The image beautifully conveys both industry and craftsmanship as well as offers insight into the world of finance and trade in the 16th century. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication to manufacturing currency. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but appreciate how it bridges two centuries - capturing an ancient craft through modern technology. This print allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an era where every coin held immense value and was meticulously crafted by talented individuals like this coin maker depicted here.
