Tressa's Lucky Coin
Wealth & Fortune
What worth is a coin that sits around in a dusty coffer? Kingdom thrive as coin flows and goods move. So buy something you like with it would ya?Tressa's Lucky Coin is an artefact belonging to the merchant goddess, known to give those who carry it fortune and sales wherever they go. Though for as much wealth it brings, it also may cause misfortune to the greedy and the selfish who wish to hoard it.
Fortune & Fame
The coin resembles the standard gold issued piece used in most middle-Sichelan trade, with at one side the crest of the Peripatia's kingdom pressed in. A silver ring completes the look. What makes it stand out from the normal currency is the scarred number side. Scratched metal makes the value illegible, leaving only its shape and size a way to determine it.Fortune & Misfortune
Legends speak that any merchant who owns the coin had the fortune of commerce behind them. To be paid in it would grant one luck in future sales, making businesses thrive. Some even say that the wealthiest merchants rose out of possessing the coin in their coffers at a given time. However, the coin had to find its route into other hands eventually, for its luck is finite. Those who held onto it for too long had their fortunes strip down through misfortune, of failed crops and sunken costs. Only when the coin leaves their possession would their wealth return to them, and may the coin spread its fortune back to the world. Those who did not died in poverty. As a result, the artefact circulates around Sichelan's economy, nobody aware of which purse or coffer it remains dormant in now. Only hoping it remains circulating throughout the land.

Interesting coin! Would its luck still work on various owners of a house, if it's left forgotten in a dark dusty corner? Or must it be held by an owner, so to say, for its effects to work?
