Step by Step Coin Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw a Large Circle
Begin by drawing one big circle in the center of your page. This will be the main shape of your coin, so make it nice and round.
Step 2 – Add a Smaller Inner Circle
Inside the large circle, draw a slightly smaller circle. This creates the raised edge of the coin, like the rim on a real gold piece.
Step 3 – Start the Edge Segments
Begin drawing small vertical rectangles along the inner edge of the coin. These represent the carved segments on the coin’s rim — a detail that makes it pop!
Step 4 – Continue Adding Rectangles
Keep going around the circle, adding more evenly spaced rectangles. Try to keep the size and spacing consistent.
Step 5 – Finish the Coin Border
Complete the full circle of edge segments until they go all the way around. Now your coin looks extra detailed and 3D!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face and Color It In!
Draw two dots for eyes and a curved smile inside the coin. Now color your coin golden yellow — or get creative and make it rainbow-colored!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I add my initials or symbols inside the coin?
Yes! After you finish the basic drawing, you can personalize it with your initials, a shamrock, or a mini rainbow.
What color should I use for the coin?
Gold or yellow are perfect choices, but don’t be afraid to use glittery markers, rainbow hues, or metallic colors for fun.
Is this suitable for younger kids (ages 4–6)?
Absolutely! The steps are simple, mostly made of circles and lines. Adult help is always a plus for the first few tries.
What if my coin isn’t perfectly round?
That’s totally okay! All coins are a little different, and your drawing is unique — the fun is in creating, not perfection.
