An interesting copyright problem. The coin itself is clearly in the public domain. The photograph, however, might not be. Per Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp., if the photograph merely duplicates the coin without adding any originality the image is public domain. If the act of photographing the coin required originality/creativity, the image may be copyrighted.

From User talk:Kurt Baty, the uploader does not own the rights, but had permission to use the image in a magazine article. --Srleffler 07:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
