The city of Arion mints its own coins from the copper and gold produced in its own mines, known in the local slang as “Shinies”. The lack of silver mines means that although silver coins minted elsewhere in Khul are regarded as legal tender, none are minted in the city itself and they are not often seen in shops and at market stalls. All of the coins minted in Arion feature twenty one tiny axes on one side with the handles meeting in the middle and the head of the current ruler on the reverse. The current coins are very unusual because of the joint rule of the brother and sister King Jonthane and Queen Elegana. Normally the consort to the hereditary ruler would not be featured on the the coinage, but since both the King and the Queen are joint rulers, their faces both feature, facing each other across the centre of the coin. The locals have taken to calling these “Twin Shinies” and seem to be very proud of both the coins and their rulers.[1][2]
