Vincent, The Photoshop plug-in filters KPT 5 Shapeshifter and KPT 6 Materializer would be a good start for doing such a project. Although I don’t have anything approximating the coin you speak of, I do have some metallic images using the filters with a metallic environment imported and masks to create the relief. The main thing to rememember is that the mask serves as a greyscale height map where the lighter the tone, the higher the elevation (or relief) and the darker the tone, the lower the elevation (or depression):
