Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a coin from at least two different materials, in which method first of all a centre (1) is made, as well as a ring blank with a hole in the centre. The ring blank is stamped using a stamp from at least one surface, in order to form a ring (2) and the centre (1) is attached to the ring (2) by fitting it to the hole in the ring (2). The ring blank is stamped using a mandrel stamp and shaped to a set dimension, in such a way that a dimensionally precise and bevelled (4) opening is formed in the hole. The centre (1) is manufactured from a material that cannot be plastically shaped, and the centre (1) is pressed into the hole of the ring (2), in order to form a wedged joint between the ring (2) and the centre (1). The invention also relates to an arrangement for implementing the method.
