I've always liked the look of these Swedish coins of the 1960s.

However, I have never noticed any with similar characteristics.

Not sure if you want this to count, since the whole field is the concave area. Still, the effect on the viewer is the same.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

All lovely!  I am not going to report it, but the Polish FAO "Man's first food" is concave in shape.

Another one for consideration - the 1996 UK £2 coin commemorating the European Football championships.

Is it concave or does it just lack a raised rim?


See:

1] Modern coins that lack a raised rim.

2] Curved Coins.

If anybody has an idea for a new topic title, maybe I could merge those two topics with this one?
