Here is a Phoenix Fire Fighter coin that we floated between 2 frames visible from both sides to sit on a table or desk.
6" x 6" shadow box frames.
We cut a 6" x 6" piece of Optium and laser cut the circle in our shop in the center to hold the coin tightly.
Then I cut 2- 6" x 6" Larson frames.
I also cut 2 - 6"x 6" pieces of Optium for the glazing on both sides of the frame.
I sprayed the inside rabbets of the frames flat black because it might be seen from the outside.
Then I wrapped 1" Fome Cor strips with black linen for the side shadow box pieces leaving a 1/8" gap for the coin with the Optium panel to float between the two frames.
Glued the two frames together and it was done.
The backside of the coin was made a little crooked from the front...not much we could do about that, we didn't make the coin.
