Drachma Sun Coin – Token Inspired by Ancient Greece

This coin is a historically inspired design intended for 3D printing. The front features a stylized sun motif based on the ancient Macedonian emblem often associated with Alexander the Great, resembling the Vergina Sun. The back contains the word “Drachma” in Greek letters, engraved in negative relief.

The model includes two versions:

• A 25 mm diameter coin with increased thickness and a solid tactile presence
• A 30 mm diameter version that is thinner and lighter, suitable for faster printing or lightweight use

The model is optimized for single-color prints, but it also works well with manual filament changes to produce a two-tone effect. For example, the sun and outer rim can be printed in gold, while the rest of the coin remains black.

Suitable for FDM 3D printers and tested on an Ender 3 V2 Neo using PLA filament. The flat side with the text should be printed facing down to ensure clarity and clean edge definition. The design was originally created for a children’s camp but is also well-suited for use in tabletop games, classroom activities, or as a collectible item.
