I was recently share a idea on Wolfram Demonstration Projects, using ScalingTransform to compress 3D model into high relief coin design. http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/DesignYourOwnCommemorativeCoin/
Unforturnately, Demo site is not support version 11 at the moment. So I published a simple and cutting version to fit the current site. Actually, this demo is more playful with full version and more 3D models.
