Special Features

  • Solid iron, 29.6 grams, 3 cm length
  • In Patrick's world, not all coins are the familiar round shape! Some have the trapezoidal cross section of a poured metal ingot. We presume the earliest money was made by literally sawing slices from ingots of metal. In more recent times they are no longer made this way but retain the same shape through custom and tradition.
  • Artisanal work - To inhibit oxidation they have been coated with pastewax, some variation in color and finish can be expected, each coin is made one at a time using real metals and antique methods as they might have done hundreds of years ago.
  • Officially licensed The Kingkiller Chronicle merchandise
  • Made in the USA using traditional hand engraving techniques, solid metal, and antique equipment. Shire Post Mint is commited to keeping old world coinmaking craft alive

Description

How much does Kvothe have in his coin purse? Often it's just a few Cealdish Drabs, the standard currency in Temerant. This heavy trapezoidal iron coin was designed in partnership with Patrick Rothfuss, so you can be sure that it is true to the story. A heavy trapezoid shaped coin is made from pure iron and comes from Ceald, a country in the northwest of the Four Corners of Civilization. The Cealdim were the first to establish a standardized currency, and to the present day Cealdish currency can be used throughout the Four Corners. We presume that the earliest money was made literally by sawing slices from ingots of metal. In more recent times they are no longer made in this way, but retain the same shape through custom and tradition. It features a simple stamp of a mountain and lake, the symbol of Ceald. Wilem, one of Kvothe's best friends and a student at The University, is Cealdish. This Iron Cealdish Drab from the world of Patrick Rothfuss is struck from solid iron, measures 3 cm in diameter, and weighs about 29.6 grams. Coin artwork by Tom Maringer. The product is treated to look as if it has been handled and circulated. This process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science, coloring and patinas will vary. No two are exactly the same! Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. A colorful description is included with history and facts about the coin. Officially licensed The Kingkiller Chronicle merchandise Elodin Enterprises. All rights reserved.
