[MR] Re: Casting coins

[Toby R Cobb]

Isenfir, Lochmere(I'm pretty sure it was them...), and Marinus have all
previously stricken our coins on 3/4" pewter blanks. These have been used as
an interchangeable coin standard between the groups and their gaming
interests, namely the Red Mountain Inn, Rabah's Karavan, and the Crab &
Coin.

Isenfir cut out our own blanks from sheet pewtwer from Atlas Metals (
www.atlasmetal.com ) at a cost of roughly 11 per dollar. The other groups
were purchasing pre-cut blanks for roughly 4 per dollar if memory serves.

An example of an Isenfir pence is pictured at

Hope this helps!!

By the way, have you considered having the coins struck, as
was done in period, rather than cast?  Gryffri can supply
coin blanks and is a good source of advice on dies.

Hope this helps.  We're using repro period coins for event
tokens at our Danelaw event this October.
