I've been waiting for Felix to redo these also :P Good work btw :)
I'd prefer you have kept the original symbols, Luksy left the documentation on a thread of mine somewhere.
It's 元祐通寶thank you this will be of great help to me ;)

Here's a "few" images of the same coin

Northern Song, minted around 1086~1093 for this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Zhezong_of_Song_China) dude.
The added detail is nice, but the uniform green of the original was done on purpose. It's a lot easier to read the text in front of it.
I am gonna go hunt Felix down and get him to make some more too. I like the ones on first post more too!
I like that, the only problem is the bottom hanzi is not meant to have a squiggle. That is because the coin Luksy posted is worn away. Have a look here at bottom symbol. 通even if thats so the coin worn away looks nice enough and my last ones will be as realistic as i could make it look
I'm going to call them like I see them.i agree but im making a bulk of options so people can choose their Favorite
While I rarely use the coin command (mostly never) looking at that texture does kind of scream "redo me". I like where this re texting is going, but I have some issues with versions 4 and 5.
V4 has very defined ripples. Looks a little hypnotic. Maybe make them not go so far out from the coin and diffuse them a little so they look less like neon strings and more like waves.
V5 is very bright. The contrast of th characters makes them almost as illegible as the original texture especially because they'll be scrolling.
Very beautiful!Thank you
