Because the hub is the master pattern, they were used to create a die and then placed back on the shelf. What is a DIE? A die is the impression made directly from the original hub. The die would then be used in the manufacturing process of jewelry coining, and medallions and would be “die-struck”. If a die cracked, another impression die could be created from the original hub pattern. Dies have the reverse image so that the impression is the correct orientation when struck.
