uncharted: drake's fortune coin reference images wanted

[nibelheim]

Hi,

This is my first post the the RPF!

I'm looking for some good reference images for the Spanish gold coin in Uncharted: Drake's fortune, also seen in the loading screen. I want to try to print one.
Looked everywhere but only found some low res ones (like:http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/10/unchartoph.png).

Any help is much appreciated.

shapeways has one for sale

I know shapeways has one, and a very good looking one I might add, but I didn't pay way-to-much money for my 3d printer to be using shapeways
Plus I think it's a good practise to try and model it by reference photo's.

The back side is copied from the real Spanish coins 1556-1598 minted in Lima/Potosi (Peru) with the crest of Phillip III of Spain.
PHIHLPPVS D.G. HISPANIARVM


The front is made up with ET INDIARVM REX around the outside and PLVS VLTRA over the building.

Awesome! Thanx for the info

Not exactly a close replica, but fun enough for now. Now I have to wait for my shipment of bronzefill filament to arrive.

Nice job. If you ever do a more screen accurate version, I'd love to see it.

It's getting there, still not 100% accurate. I think it looks to perfect, if you look at the references it's misshaped and distorted in areas. Looking good though!
