Notes

This was the first coin I ever designed, and made them as a presentation of largesse to their Excellencies Molly and Adhamn at the 2016 Rivenstar Christmas Court.

The front prominently features the symbol of Rivenstar, and the back is based roughly upon the silver penny of Edward I.

The Rivenstar die was later reused for the Three Saints and a Sinner Site Tokens and [Rivenstar Baronial Tokens].
