Portalarium revaled what is apparently the final design for the limited edition coin that those backers who pledged to support Shroud of the Avatar at the Collector tier ($165 currently, or $150 during the Kickstarter campaign) will receive:

The story of the coin’s creation is an interesting one, and involves Rustic Dragon to some degree:

A couple of our most active backers, Frank Baxley (Sir Frank on the forums) and Joseph Toschlog (Vitralis on the forums, aka Rustic Dragon at Hearth of Britannia), were brainstorming a coin design to be manufactured for their own use, and asked about rights to use the SotA logo and images. Stephen Daniele (lead concept artist) provided a few concept sketches, and the design brainstorming blossomed into an eighty-seven email thread between our team, Frank, and Joseph! We got so excited about the final design, that we decided to use it as the physical goods “Official Collector’s Coin” included in the Early Founder Collector Pledge Tier (and above) rewards.

So…well done Rustic Dragon (and Sir Frank)! Kudos to you two, and to Stephen Daniele as well, for coming up with such a keen coin design.
