Tar Valon Mark

This fantasy coin (or token) is made in Nickel-Silver to emulate a silver coin from The Wheel of Time TM series by Robert Jordan. The obverse features the face of Deane Aryman, holding a flame on her open palm, flanked by seven stars and wearing the stole of the Amyrlin Seat, striped with seven colors. The reverse side features the ancient symbol of the Ourobouros, the snake eating it's own tail, used to symbolize eternity. In the center is the Flame of Tar Valon, official symbol of the White Tower and the Amyrlin Seat. They are 0.9875" in diameter (about 25mm). The material is Nickel-Silver, an alloy of 65%Cu, 18%Ni and 17%Zn. For this initial release we have created 100 special handmade collector cards for the coin, such that the coin is pressed into a tightly fitting hole in the heavy card and is visible from both sides. The owner may safely remove the card from the sleeve and push the coin out to handle it, then press it back in with finger pressure without damage to the packaging.
