SC - Subtlety Question

[Gedney, Jeff]

Idea 1
How about making a two sided wooden cookie die with the coin design cut into
the die in reverse on the striking surfaces? 
Then take the marzipan, roll it into small balls and press them into rough
circles. Lay a leaf of edible gold on the lower die, and place  a flattened
ball in the center of the lower die. Lay another sheet on top of that and
press it firmly together. A sharp tap should be sufficient. That should make
a gold marzipan coin.   

Idea 2 
Take the dies from Idea 1 and oil them lightly. Make a batch of drawn or
plate sugar, and press it into the dies, and press the dies together. After
the sugar cools completely (that will be quick, but you'll want to keep the
candy stock in a pot set in very warm water, to keep it flexible), remove
the candy coin, and set aside. After the coins are made, you can get edible
silver and gold foil, and coat the coins thusly: First take a coin and
LIGHTLY coat with egg white, lay the foil on top of the coin, and using a
dry sable brush, push the leaf into the surfaces of the coin. 


Just some thoughts...
