While I have been often billed in the SCA as “the one that does everything”, my deepest medieval passion has always been in the art of coin making (aka “moneying”).
This series of articles strives to share my knowledge of the craft, shaped from historical research, discussions with masters in the field, and my own personal experiences in the craft.
At present, some of the articles are still in progress. This page will be updated as they are finalized and published.
