Create a coind readable from both sides

Hi,

I am struggling to create a coin with a number value (e.g. 5) which has the same number on both sides, but not mirrored! Meaning no matter which side I am looking at, the number is readable. The thing is: The number was sketched by hand on an imported image, not written via Text-Tool. Of course I could redo the same process on the other side of the coin (creating a sketch, importing the image, draw the number). But there must be an easier process, as I want to have the exact same drawing on both sides, not two different ones which might differ slightly, as it was drawn by hand…

    You can actually copy/paste sketch geometry and move it between sketches. Just make a bounding box around your sketch geometry, ctrl + c, then open your new sketch and ctrl + v. You will need to add a few constraints or dimensions to get the positioning right but it should be pretty straightforward. Just make sure your pasted sketch is fully constrained so that it doesn't get messed up by moving it around.

    Easiest: make one half of the coin, then, instead of mirroring, rotate-copy it 180 degrees and boolean together.
