A call for coins: By the royal commands of Malice Osha, new currency was ordered to be crafted and produced within the Ash Sea Islands during the time of Osha’s reign as king. The task befell the self proclaimed “Artisto Supreme” Dafayo Vashmere. Commissioned to produce his best work, the infamous artist slaved over designing coinage worthy of the mighty Ash Sea Islands. Each coin was produced to honor and respect heroes of the present and past, as well as famous events of the kingdom’s long history. The new coinage marked the revitalization of the common coin and predates any attempt to produce such elegant currency in all the world.

Crafting the coins: Each coin was cast from an iron mold that was hand carved and fashioned by the hands of Dafayo Vashmere who was given the official title of “Master of the Royal Mint” in a public decoration. With granted access to the minting chambers of the Ash Sea Treasury and under the supervision of Moses McGahee Royal Treasurer of Ash Sea Islands, Dafayo began work immediately within the city of Ser’quea.

The Mapan, or the King’s Coin, is fashioned to replace the common gold coin. The design is highly detailed with the head-side depicting King Malice Osha wearing the Ash Sea Crown. The tail-side respects Mapo, home of Mapan Ale and beloved region within ASI. The Mapan was the first coin to be issued on grand scale to the public and is commonly used in Ash Sea Commerce by noble and peasant class alike.

The Mosaback gold coin is a heavy coin worth three gold on the current market. The head-side depicts Sir Moses McGahee, Royal Treasurer of Ash Sea Islands and Duke of Wor'ight at that time, looking across the Ash Sea Islands in triumphant glory. On the tail-side the Kingdom’s main religion “Magna Serpaensism”. is displayed with honor. The Mosaback was the first coin to be crafted but the second to actually be minted and issued to the public.
