Maker Coin Clock

The assignment was to design a creative Maker Coin. It had to be made from an initial revolve and result in a coin 6cm in diameter and 1.25 cm in thickness. The coin had to look gear-esque in nature and slope downwards toward the middle with a slight curve on the bottom lifting the outer edges. No moving parts were allowed.

I decided to take the "gear-esque" requirement literally and base my Maker Coin on the gears inside a clock. There are often many different and unique gears inside a clock and when they fit together they create a beautiful abstract pattern. I wanted to emulate this idea in my coin, designing different gears that fit together, but at different heights, within the coin.
