Definitions

  • the invention relates to a two-part blank for coins, medals, tokens, tokens and the like, consisting of an inner disk made of a first metal or a metal alloy, which has depressions on the outer edge and into the central opening of an outer ring made of a second metal or a second metal alloy is pressed.
  • a coin blank with these features is known from EP-A-0312436.
  • coins were mainly made from one piece of solid metal of uniform composition.
  • coins are also made from different metals and metal alloys. These are mainly layered composites, such as those produced by roll cladding a steel core with a brass support on both sides.
  • such material composites have increasingly been used for the production of coins consist of an inner disc made of a metal, which is surrounded by an outer ring made of another metal or a different metal alloy.
  • the Italian 500 fire coin consists of an inner disc made of a gold-colored copper alloy. An outer ring made of a bluish shimmering silver-gray chrome steel is pressed concentrically around this inner disc.
  • JP-A-58-3743 contains the proposal to provide the inner disk or alternatively the outer ring with a peripheral edge groove. To assemble the two components are placed one inside the other in order to use a special tool to press the material of the inner disk into the groove in the outer ring or vice versa.
  • EP-A-0 160 343 takes up this idea with a very similarly designed outer ring.
  • a ball is inserted into the outer ring and then plastically formed into the inner disk.
  • EP-A-0 415 892 the inner edge of the outer ring is provided with an interrupted circumferential groove into which material of the inner disk then flows during the stamping process.
  • the invention provides that the outer ring and inner disk of the concentric coin material composite in their electrical Conductivity is far apart. This is best achieved by using a copper coin material with a specific electrical resistance of max. 25 ⁇ ⁇ cm is used. A chromium or a chromium-nickel steel with a specific electrical resistance of at least 70 ⁇ ⁇ cm should be selected for the electrically poorly conductive part.
  • the electrically poorly conductive part can also be a composite of ferritic and austenitic steel. This achieves the following: Today's electronic coin validators use the principle of electromagnetic interaction between electromagnetic fields of different frequencies and the coin metals in different ways.
  • Characteristic double signals can be obtained when the coins pass through the coil systems of coin validators, provided that a considerably better conductive part of the composite material forms the outer ring, or alternatively a single signal with a characteristic curve shape if a significantly better conductive part forms the inner disc.
  • the coin consists of an outer ring 2 according to Fig. 1, which has a central opening, the outline of which corresponds to that of the inner disc 1 according to Fig. 2 or 3, such that the inner disc 1 by pressing into the central opening of the outer ring 2 is connected to this non-positively.
  • oblique depressions 5 are arranged in the outer edge 4 of the inner disk 1 (FIG. 2).
  • the depressions are connected to form a serpentine groove 5 a, which extends around the outer edge 4 of the inner disk 1. Material flows into these depressions 5, 5a when the parts 1, 2 are pressed together. In addition to the non-positive connection, this also results in a positive connection of the parts 1, 2.
  • the inflow of the material when the two parts 1, 2 are pressed together is made considerably easier because the depressions 5, 5a gradually fill with the material of the other part, in which the depressions do not available.
