    Dear Allan: The best way I know to do a double sided stamping is to
    make a two sided die, and if edge shape is important, then you will
    need a collar as well. The object gets struck all at once. This the
    basic set-up for any coining operation. 

    Yes, it is quite a bit of work to make such a set of tools.
