Coin and medal design.
Stories in relief.
Drawing, composition and relief translate a theme into a small surface full of meaning. Trained at Rome’s Scuola dell’Arte della Medaglia, I design coins and medals for competitions and commissions, in dialogue with the identity of the people and institutions behind them.

Internationale Gartenausstellung 2027
I designed the pictorial side of Germany’s 35-euro collector coin for IGA 2027. The value side is by Michael Otto. The coin is expected to be issued in April 2027.

A project for your institution.
For institutions, numismatic organisations, trade fair organisers and commissioners: we can begin with the theme, purpose and context. You can also contact me to arrange a professional meeting at a fair.
Discuss a projectThe meaning of a symbol.
A coin calls for synthesis. Figures, lettering and space must coexist in relief. The work moves through drawing, modelling and a conversation with the subject.

Email me with the theme, intended use, context and deadlines. We can discuss drawing and relief modelling, feasibility and a quotation.
Can we meet at a trade fair?
I welcome proposals for professional meetings and collaborations with institutions, numismatic organisations and fair organisers. Include the event and dates in your enquiry.
