What is a high relief coin? A high relief coin carries a design that rises much further from the surface than ordinary coinage, giving it genuine sculptural depth. Achieving it calls for specially prepared dies and higher striking pressure, and may require multiple strikes per coin, which is why high relief issues are typically produced in smaller numbers.

The result sits somewhere between a coin and a miniature sculpture, and the combination of attributes varies more here than in any flat-struck collection.

Compare each issue by relief depth, finish, silver weight, mintage, mint, and certification. High relief pairs especially well with patina finishes, seen throughout the antiqued silver collection, and the technique's extreme end lives in the ultra high relief coins.
