Although various historians quoted his existence is not ascertained: but the influence and fascination of figures such as Guinevere, Lancelot, Camelot, and the Round Table cannot be denied.
Featured in games such as Shadows over Camelot, Lancelot, Tainted Grail.

	Very large silver coinages were being struck in southeastern England. The new silver coins are similar to the tremisses (a Roman gold coin) in terms of size and weight: small (typically 10-12mm in diameter), thick and usually weighing 1–1.3g. On the left, a diademed bust right, with a cross in front. London 710 AD.
	On the same coin group. Coiled wolf with the curled tongue facing right. London 720 AD.
	A silver penny of Offa. Offa of Mercia was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 757 to 796 AD.

Thank you to this campaign we will able to reprint our 10 historical coin sets, which are all available in this campaign:



The Ancient Roman set is inspired by different kinds of Roman coins from different periods: stater - inspired by Greek coins, denarius - a dollar of antiquity - and aureus - heavier due to the higher density of gold.

Roman coins had an essential role in spreading ideas and messages in Roman society: they were like mass media. Incisions celebrated Rome's history, faced religious, social, and historical themes, celebrated monuments, recalled myths, legends, and victories: Roman coins were political propaganda.
These are the coins you took inspiration from:

	Denario "dollar of antiquity". In the incision Dioscuri on horseback in a starry night, referring to the battle of Lake Regillo, turned in favor of the Romans from the arrival, on the twilight, of the divine twins.
	Augustus coined aureus. In the engraving Temple of Mars Ultor: round-domed, tetra-style temple set on a podium of three steps; within, is a chariot, carrying an Aquila and a miniature, galloping quadriga. (Yes, of course, "Aureus" should be a gold coin, but we are artists, so we changed the material!)
	The Rome foundation of Romulus and Commemorative Remus coined by Constantine I 'The Great. Around 330 AD, Constantine the Great completed his new capital for the Roman Empire and called it Constantinople, originally the ancient Greek city called Byzantium. For the memorable occasion of Constantinople, he issued this bronze coin depicting the standing wolf that left to sip Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

Ancient Greece is one of the most famous and known cultures, worthy of remembrance and myth, inspiring legends, tales, and stories till this day.
This set can be used for games like 7 Wonders, 7 Wonders Duels, Elysium, Deus, and many more.

These are the coins you took inspiration from:

	Gold Pentadracma (reverse, 323 - 285 b.C) This coin was minted for Ptolemy I ruler of Egypt's Kingdom, as a gift by Greece in memory of Alexander the Great, who recently passed. The coin shows an eagle grasping a thunderbolt.
	Silver Stater (395-338 b.C) The amphora is the symbol of a family in this case. In the background is the name of the magister and therefore differentiating the coin from others like it.
	Tetradracma (after 449 b.C) In Ancient Greece, the term drachma was used unit for measuring weight. The first coins showed various animals, in this case, an owl symbol of the goddess Athena.

Vikings made themselves known to the world between 800 b.C and 1100 a.C, when they left their northern lands searching for fortune and glory, raiding the European coasts. Formidable warriors and courageous seafarers, leaving their mark from the European kingdoms to the Americas.
This set can be used for games like A Feast for Odin, Clans of Caledonia, and many more.
These are the coins you took inspiration from:

	Odin’s three Horns (939) During the occupation of York in 939, the Vikings minted a series of coins, and many are rare today. One of these is Odin’s Three Horns.
	Vegvisir’s Compass (1600) Vegvisir is one of the most ancient and sacred northern symbols that originated in Iceland: “Vagur” means road or trail, and “Visir” means to guide. Such a symbol was often inscribed on ships for good fortune.
	Yggdrasil (IX century) This coin was inspired by the immense tree that stretches through the cosmos, connecting the Nine Worlds.

Medieval coins from different cities inspire the Italian Medieval set: Alfonsino issued in the Kingdom of Naples, Genovino from Genoa, Florin coined in the Republic of Florence.

From the second half of the eighth century, with the monetary reform of Charlemagne, the coinage in Western Europe resumed. Even if the diffusion is initially limited, gradually, the use of money joins the barter, which had once again become the main means of exchange after the Roman Empire's collapse.

	Alfonsino, a gold coin issued in the Kingdom of Naples by Alfonso I of Naples (1442-1458). It had a duchy and a half value, and its engraving represents the emblem of the Aragonese.
	Genovino, issued in Genoa for the first time in 1252, just before the issue of the Florentine coin. In the engraving, we see the heraldic cross and around CVNRADVS REX, i.e., Corrado III, who in 1139 had granted the city the right to coin money.
	Fiorino, a 24-karat gold coin, was first coined in 1252 in Florence. The engraving represents St. John, the patron saint of the city. In the thirteenth century and until the Renaissance, the florin became the favorite currency of exchange in Europe, a sort of euro of time.

From the late 4th century BC to the late 1st century BC, the Celts moved to a monetary economy because of relations and commercial contacts with the Greeks.
Celtic coins were influenced by Mediterranean coinage: originally, they copied the Greek types, then the design became more symbolic.
There were engraved giants that drag heads severed, knights in charge, gods and goddesses, skulls, thunder and lightning, the sun and the moon. Celtic coins are miniature surreal art masterpieces!

	Vindelici Regenbogenschüsselchen - rainbow cup - featuring Triskelis with ball-ended ends, in a kind of laurel wreath. According to folk belief, these coins could be found where a rainbow touched the earth in plowed fields after heavy rainfall, and they were thought to bring luck.
	Celtic coin issued about AD 61, featuring the face of Boudicca, a queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe. She led the largest anti-Roman revolt of the island's tribes.
	Biatech, hexadrachms of the Bratislava type. Biatec was the name of a person, presumably a king, who appeared on the Celtic coins minted by the Boii - a Gallic tribe of the later Iron Age.

The Spanish Colonial set is inspired by coins issued in overseas expansion when Spain discovered the New World.

The Spanish set is inspired by the reals, used for several centuries in Spain, the escudo, and the doubloons, ancient gold coins minted in Spain and Spanish America from the 16th century to the middle of the 19th century, that in Europe became the model for several other gold coins.
This is the perfect setting for any pirate or colonial game!

	Philip V, gold 8 Escudos, known as “piece of eight”. Philip V King of Spain was the first Spanish monarch of the Bourbon dynasty, and his reign has been the longest in modern Spanish history.
	Silver real was coined in Seville during the reign of Peter I of Castile (1350-1369). The real (meaning: "royal") was a currency unit in Spain for several centuries after the mid-14th century. The first real was introduced by King Pedro I of Castile at the value of 3 maravedies.
	Carlos II, gold 8 Escudos. Cross of Jerusalem with lions and castles in the angles. Carlos II was the last Spanish King of the Hapsburg Dynasty. Due to his young age when rising to the throne at four, Spain was ruled by the King's mother and her friends for years. Not producing an heir with either of his two wives, Carlos named a French prince to succeed him. Late in 1700, Carlos passed away at the age of 39, leaving the kingdom much impoverished.

The Ottoman Empire lasted from 1299 to 1922, one of the most lasting in history! With a Sultan as a sovereign, it was a bridge between the West and East for over five centuries.
This set can be used for games like The Voyages of Marco Polo, Five Tribes, Istanbul, and many more.
These are the coins you took inspiration from:

	3 Altin, Abdul Hamid I (1773) The coin worth 3 Altin refers to Abdul Hamid I, the twenty-seventh sultan that ended the war between Russia and Turkey, saving the empire.
	Mustafa II (1695 - 1703) With 42mm in diameter, it is one of the biggest coins ever minted. Sultan Mustafa II guided the empire into the war between Russia and Turkey.
	Zeri Mahbub, Mahmud I (1731) Inscribed is the tughra of Mahmud I, meaning the personal signature or sigil of the sultan, Mahmud I was sultan after his father Mustafa II.

Pre-Columbian era set takes inspiration from the indigenous Americas cultures like Maya, Aztec, Inca civilizations.
Pre-Columbian civilizations used barter instead of money, so we design this set, taking inspiration from their arts and rituals. Every coin represents a symbol or relevant element of those cultures, like the sun, cosmos, supernatural beings, or skulls. Use this set to enjoy boardgames set in the Americas before Christopher Columbus arrives in the New World.

	Human skull decorated with a polychromic mosaic, tessels of turquoise, hematit, and tumbaga gold sheets. Mixtec-Aztec, Mexico - 1300-1521 A.D.

	Hammered gold breastplates from central Panama decorated with intricate embossed images of supernatural beings with claws, bared teeth, and serpentine appendages.

The Holy Roman Empire lasted from 962 a.C to 1806 a.C, spreading from Central Europe to Western Europe. It reached its apex in the Early Middle Medieval, being formally dissolved in 1806.
This set can be used for games like Princeps of Florence, Architects of the West Kingdom, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Orleans, Caylus, Citadels, and many more.

These are the coins you took inspiration from:

	Silver Coin with Leopold I (reverse, 1670) The coin shows a two-headed eagle with the crown of the king above it.
	Kipper from Nuremberg (1622) The Kipper coins were coins minted with a value much higher than the physical value of the coin.
	Silver Coin with Leopold I (obverse, 1670) On this side Leopold I is shown proudly with a simple laurel crown as in Ancient Roman tradition.

The Victorian Era was a period of British history during Queen Victorian’s reign, from 1837 to her death in 1901. A period defined by romanticism and mysticism.
This set can be used for games like Brass, The Walls of York, Puerto Rico, Newton, and many more.
These are the coins you took inspiration from:

	Florin, 2 shillings (reverse, 1849) During Vittoria’s reign, a silver florin was minted with a value of 24 pence. The coin's back shows four shields divided by scepters and a rose in the center; no value is shown on the coin.
	Half Crown, 2 shillings, and 6 pence (1845) Minted for a value of 30 pence, it shows the four shields, once divided on the florin, now reunited under the crown of Britain.
	Florin, 2 shillings (obverse, 1849) The front had a peculiar design as the queen is wearing a crown (the first time since it appeared with Charles II). This crown is based on the imperial crown but was adapted to fit the border of the coin.
