[Cynnabar] 20161010 Barony of Cynnabar Business Meeting Notes

[Brian F via Barony]

One minor correction regarding the coins.

The obverse is the arms of the barony, with the inscription reading
"CYNNABAR CIVITA[S]", Latin for "city of Cynnabar", and has my mint mark
(an ermine tail) in the inscription.
The reverse of the types shown at the meeting feature a large E, and the
inscription is "ERMENRICH: BARO", Latin for "Ermenrich, Baron".
A second reverse die will be made for Kasha, in a similar style (with the
K).  Half will be struck with each reverse type.

They were based off of billon deniers of Amedeus VI of Savoy (1343-83):

I've attached a photo for those that weren't at the meeting.

Also, striking sessions will occur (we're about 1/3 of the way done)!
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends this month are good for me, except for
Halloween weekend.  Please contact me if you want to help, no experience
necessary.

Best,

Derian.
