Abstract (en)

Provided is a coin image acquisition device capable of acquiring a clear coin image without a light diffusing film that diffuses light or a barrier film that blocks stray light. The coin image acquisition device acquires an image of a coin, and the coin image acquisition device includes: a light source unit configured to emit light; and an imaging unit configured to capture a reflected image of a coin irradiated with light from the light source unit, the light source unit including a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed in an annular shape and a condensing unit configured to collect light from the light-emitting elements, the condensing unit including a plurality of lenses disposed in an annular shape correspondingly to the respective light-emitting elements, the condensing unit having a lower degree of condensation in a circumferential direction of the annular shape than in a radial direction of the annular shape.
