Edge - Macro Monday

"Edge" HMM !

The edge of a coin will either feature an inscription - sometimes text that is related to the motif, subject or issuing territory - or some kind of pattern or ornamentation. Sometimes the edge remains blank.

Reeding of edges was introduced to prevent coin clipping and counterfeiting.
