Realistic, historically based metal game coins using close to actual faces and full 3-D relief.
I just recieved the final samples and they look good.
We are pushing to ship before November 1st to avoid the increased tariffs to 130% from the existing 30%. IIt looks like we should be able to make this but will have to pay a bit more for freight as pre-duties paid.

Happy October everyone. Time for Halloween, Octoberfest, start of Fall weather (in the northern hemisphere), and finishing our manufacturing of our historic metal coins and start of the fulfillment process.
I have managed to partner with an EU company for allowing us to ship into the EU as required with the new GSPR requirements. This has been holding up the creation of our new labels for the historic metal coins.
Here is the final hanging label tags for the coins, with first the original denominations:
And the hanging label tag for the new denominations
I am expecting to send the final Backerkit pledge manager within a few weeks.
Final shipping schedule is still being affected by the tariff situation, however if nothing changes, I will try to transport / freight the manufactured quantities to fulfillments starting in November timeframe to fulfillment centers as final manufacturing is expected by the end of October.
Jason.
Hi All,
As we are sliding from August and into September, we are still working on finalizing the manufacturing of the coins. We have finalized the silver color for the Anglo Saxon Penny and we have almost completed the testing process for the new GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation) for the EU, with printing new labels with the new required information on them.
We will be finalizing the BackerKit pledge manager soon and sending out the final order and shipping costs pledges soon.
Hopefully the Tariffs will not jump above the 30% until we get the coins into the US, which is why I have delayed sending the BackerKit pledges out.
I hope everyone has a great Weekend and Labor day holiday for those in the US.

We have our first samples from the factory.
Hello All,
I apologize for not posting earlier, as my mother had fallen in mid April and I had to spend allot of time helping my father in late April and May. I had managed to continue working with my manufacturer some during this time, but I was highly distracted. My mother is now doing better.
I have been working with the factory for the last several months to produce the new coin designs, Below is a verification from them on the size of each coin (not the color). Notice the largest top left coin is the gold Dinar, the top right coin is the bright silver 1/2 Dirham, the bottom left is the darker silver fractional Dirham and the bottom right coin is the Saxon Otto III Denier a slightly greyer silver coin.
Here is a simulated view of the Dinar with the gold material from my own 3D modeling. I will show everyone what the actual coin prototypes will look like when I have them.
This is the 1/2 Dirham coin with a simulated silver material from my 3D modeling.
And here is the coin bag design.
Also, we will be at the Origin's Game Fair, June 18th-22nd where we will be running our games. We have openings in the schedule if you will be there:
