I am in the process of moving to my new House sometimes late this year.
The Building construction is already over, and within 2-3 months, the work of installing doors and windows will start.
My Interior Designer has suggested, looking to my hobby of coin collecting, that the Doors of the House should display a Replica Coin, cast in some light metal like Aluminium, into 8-10 inch size, embedded between two glass sheets.

I am not able to decide the design of the coin, and hence this poll to seek your ideas.

Thanks for your ideas.

Don't you think that this is an open invite to anti social elements.............that they could chance upon some treasure inside?

The high end museums usually keep high security with CCTV cameras installed all over the area internally /externally.

If you intend to install fency doors with design of coins very innovative idea, but I also feel it should be limited to internal rooms doors  and all .

Outside doors can be normal as usual.


Cheers ;D

Every experience, good or bad, is a priceless collector's item.

I think the lion and palm is more appropriate, as a variant is still in use, but I would suggest taking off the texts. The lotus design is nice, but can be mis-interpreted as a political symbol. ;)

Dear Amit and Ajay,

Don't worry. This door will be used only inside the house, and that too, for my Coin Room.

Even I agree with Peter, that the Sun and Lotus coin is a better choice.

Interesting ...
There is also an innovating wall frame that can hold multiple coins and create a pattern ... looks nice on the wall with different coins inside creating a nice design ... forgot the link ...
