It's when you spread powdered coloured glass on an item, and heat it up to make the glass flow and become like a paint.
Sometimes there are other materials used, but the purpose is the same - to get a smooth, good looking surface.
Some shiny paints are also called enamels.

Although these started out as genuine British circulating coins, it became fashionable at some point to create jewellery out of them. There are examples listed on the Internet of brooches, pendants, cuff links and even buttons having been made from genuine circulation coins. The enamelling is part of the jewellery making process, the coins were never minted like this. They are not traded or collected as coins, but as jewellery, and are collectible in their own right and are attracting some relatively large prices. Modified coins have no collector value.

In view of the collector value of an uncirculated British 1826 silver Shilling, I would prefer to have the Shilling. Modified coins have no collector value.
