A cheeky token with a panda face on the front and rear end (tail and legs) on the back.
This design uses the innate properties of the polished grey steel process to add the distinctive black patches which make a panda so recognisable.To make this work I added patterning to the larger dark areas - without them they are scoured by the polishing media and lose their intensity.
I also have a version of this coin without the patterning, which is suitable for painting yourself (I have successfully done this using these instructions).
It measures a chunky 3cm wide and 3mm thick. The edge of this coin has a motif of alternating hearts.
