No tourist token stamping machines, or even any ready made planchets or dies or anything; this guy goes back to basics, and makes the dies, the planchets from scratch, for his own coin, based off a 7th century BCE Lydian stater.

Not exactly Royal Mint or MDP production standards, but still pretty damn cool. :o
