| Reproducing (accurately) the colour of this coin was a real task!
I have reduced the photomicrographs (below) to greyscale because the colours
introduced by the halogen/fluorescent combination of lighting I used were
so far from from natural as to be useless. These two shots (above) were taken outside, in bright sunlight. Even so, my green and ferny backyard introduced a greenish caste to the coin which I have tried to very gently tweak back to "natural". The coloured spots on the "before" image are mainly artefacts of jpg compression. Below is my attempt to photograph the coin under artificial light. |

| Below are thumbnails of the photomicrographs. If you find this too tedious, or the larger images are too large, there is another page which shows more conveniently sized images side-by-side. |
