Abstract Minting metal coin, mean to impress a given relief model on both coin faces and also on the edge. Due to the high striking pressure, the round blank material is forced to fill the inner space between dies. In the past, for less coin value, the coin edge remained cylindrical, without any inscription. Following the increased coin value, it was introduced a security feature against forgery; on the coin edge model could be toothed or inscribed with relief or incuse text logo. Besides the coin edge basic design, a various amount of coin edge error types are released. In the paper there are studied some errors on the metal coin edge impressed with incuse text by punching. First, there are presented some particular examples and general aspects about the coin edge punching are also introduced. Then, the simplified 3D model of the parts is presented. Also, the finite element analysis on this model is realized and is achieved for different initial conditions. In the final part, the analysis results and conclusions are presented.
