March – Toss a Coin to Your Wizard

[Prof. Maxim Trevelyan]

Noraak leads you to the group of goblins and wizards and leaves you there without a word. One of the goblins with a scar on his forehead sizes you up and nods to himself. He gives you a list of what seems to be several special occasions that will be happening in 2020 in the wizarding world. The goblin tells you to pick one and make several renditions of a commemorative coin that people could buy.

Design a commemorative coin for any occasion. You can use the template here or one of your own. Add at least three things and tell us for which occasion this coin was made. Alternatively, you can describe the coin in 80 words or more.

Post your coins below (maximum 600x600) by March 31st 11:59 pm HOL time to get 25 Hoots and 50 beans.

This is a silver and copper coin, designed to remind one of ancient Egypt. It is commemorative of Equinox, when things change, when changes are more easily made from the Duat to actuality. The hexagon is for the possibilities of all shapes. The arrows, one superimposed over the other, but pointing in different directions, indicates choices made. The lightning bolt is for the enactment of the choice which was made. The circles, one inside another, with the 'dots' in between them, symbolize the multitude of choices made within the oneness of all that is.

The coin is to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the Order of Merlin. Merlin himself is pictured in his role as 'kingmaker', as evidenced by Excalibur. The Celtic border is to represent his Welsh heritage and the two dragons represent the red & white dragons he symbolically conquered, thus uniting two kingdoms (under Arthur's rule). The merlin falcon is to represent just one of Merlin's many titles, "Merlin Emrys".
