Computational simulation has become an essential tool for optimizing the minting process and supporting the development of new products in this industry. Understanding the forces and stresses that occur in the process enables effective control over the project s characteristics, in order to reduce product defects and/or prolong the lifespan of tools. This research aimed to investigate the influence of the relief features of a medal, specifically its geometry and height, on the coining forces required and the tensions generated during the coining. To achieve this goal, a 3D computational model of a copper-nickel medal was created and validated through a comparison with experimental data. The results demonstrate that the applied experimental methodology and the developed model successfully predicted the material flow according to the applied coining force. Additional simulations revealed that the geometry and height of the reliefs directly influence the forces and tensions. For example, a relief with a triangular geometry required 66 percent more force to be outlined compared to a circular relief with equivalent volume and depth. Furthermore, it was shown that reducing the relief height by 20 percent may lead to a 16 percent decrease in coining force. Discussions were held regarding the existence of Critical Coining Regions (CCR) in medal art, characterized by high and intricate reliefs. These regions will be the last to be outlined and will dictate the required forces and stress levels in the final product.
