Out of lurkdom to make a suggestion that might work for bezants - if you wanted actual silver for an extra special application - and i don't think it would be too cost prohibitive. I havnt tried making bezants but all this discussion makes me want to. I've been playing with precious metal clay for a few years - making a few pieces of jewelery. check out _http://www.pmcsupply.com/_ (http://www.pmcsupply.com/) or _http://www.artclayworld.com/_ (http://www.artclayworld.com/) it comes in a lot of different forms - one of which being sheet form that actually handles a lot like paper firing is not hard at all - it can be done with an inexpensive butane torch - it is clay impregnated with silver (or gold if you want to go totally nuts) the clay burns off when fired and leaves you with the silver anyway - what i was thinking - you might be able to use the paper punches that are in the scrapbooking sections of craft stores - they come in seemingly infinite shapes - i know you can also use rubber stamps, or you could just cut the paper clay with scissors just a suggestion Marian
