March Challenge - Silver - yet not silver

The coins of the realm that are known as silver - yet they are Cupro-Nickel, and a little work in Silver Efex for another bit of silver (which isn't!, as it is a back reference to older darkroom papers).

So nothing really lives up to it's name here, but nothing new there, the camera never lies, it just gives variations on the truth.

The coins were on my lightbox to give the white background with some fill-in flash to get more light on the coins. Everything was in manual as that was easier than trying to work out the automatics! A focus stack to get more depth of field (even at f/40 there wasn't enough) and some structure added in Silver Efex so that I could work another angle on the theme in!
