“ I love drafting my designs with pencil and paper , and in that sense , I am a bit of a traditionalist , although ultimately , I finish each piece digitally . One of the most satisfying aspects of coin design is the part I play in crafting something people like so much that they find it personally meaningful and want to buy .”
— Natasha Muhl on her design process
NATASHA ’ S PICK
One of Natasha ’ s favourite design projects , the Tears of the Moon 2021 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin , explored the mythology of Incan goddess Mama Quilla , who is said to have shed silver tears that fell to earth .
As a highly experienced member of the team , Natasha was granted a great deal of creative freedom to demonstrate her versatility and originality . Quick to sell out , her incredible dome-shaped piece contained suspended silver particles surrounded by imagery of the revered deity .
“ I found Mama Quilla ’ s story so exciting and was determined to embody it in a highly creative piece that would demand attention . The positive reaction to my concept , including the presentation packaging in the shape of Mama Quilla ’ s face , was immensely satisfying .”
