Reflection

Money does not have an absolute value, but one that is completely dependent on status, class, attitude and condition at one given time.
You are drawn to this coin and its reflective finish. Through its holes, you can see what you are purchasing while on the other side you become aware of your reflected image: a reminder of the value you attribute.

The Royal Mint supported me whilst at the Royal College of Art London to produce these bespoke £5 coins.

In the process of manufacturing coins, "Striking" a coin refers to pressing an image into the blank metal disc. Rather than striking the coin with an image, this coin is reflecting your image, creating a portrait of yourself.
