Fundamental part of a numismatists work is the identification and classification of coins according to standard reference books. Prior to any analysis a coin image has to be segmented into two areas: the area depicting the coin and the area belonging to the background. In this paper, we focus on the segmentation task as a preprocessing step for any automated coin identification system. We present a simple and fast method for coin segmentation, based on local entropy and gray value range. Results of the algorithms developed are shown for an image database of ancient coins.
