Munich Olympic Coin Ring

I had this 1972  silver (.625) Munich Olympic Deutsche 10 mark coin for many years and I never cared so much for it. IMHO it is not a very nice coin.  After close examination of this coin I saw a potential to turn it into a nice silver ring.  I was hoping to keep this nice detail on the smooth edge of the coin with Latin inscription “FORTIVS  CITIVS ALTIVS”.  I think it worked well.  Also the way I “wrapped” this coin around my mandrel with this nice smooth edge created an illusion of a silver in-lay and it looks awesome. I almost see this Art Deco pattern / design now when it’s finished. Judge it for yourself and follow my pics below for a quick pictorial.  I hope you enjoy it.   BTW, this 1972 Olympic coin ring is for sale in online shop.
