Basic punch & die

A friend of mine wanted a simple punch and die set for making coin rings last year. It was a good chance for me to mess with punches and dies, which I don't use much. I'm glad it worked well on the first attempt. The die was heated until non-magnetic, then quenched in warm brine. I don't know the alloy composition but I got lucky and it came out quite a bit harder. The punch was turned down to diameter and a slight concavity turned into the face. It was cut from some hardened rod so I didn't give it any further treatment. The set can be used in a vise or arbor press, or with a hammer. I was worried that the punch might crack from hammer blows but the material seems to have been well tempered. That's it. Simple as that. Thanks for watching.
