planchet
Unstamped metal disc
A planchet is a blank metal disk ready to be stamped into a coin.
Before striking, planchets are cut from metal sheets and prepared to the exact weight and composition required.
Coin collectors value error planchets—blanks that escaped the mint unstamped or were struck off-center.
