Iron Coin

Last updated 2026-04-04

Iron Coin is an event currency for the recurring event Lost Riches. The player can trade them with Ulman for valuable rewards. They are sometimes referred to as Ancient Iron Coin.

During the event, in a Treasure Area, the Treasure-Seeking Seelie can be used to detect dig sites within a two sprint radius that have 4, 8, or 20 Iron Coins, for a maximum of 60 Iron Coins per Treasure Area.

Trivia

  • The ancient coins share the same design as the more modern Mora in use since the ascension of The Seven, the only difference apart from their material being the additional triquetra embossed on Mora.
  • In The Raven's Legacy, Tolfin explains that Iron Coins were created by Avrelian to compete with Mora as a currency of humans rather than of the gods in order for humans to become the "masters of money" instead of its servants. At the end of the quest, the Traveler is given "The First Iron Coin" which might have been the inspirational foundation of Avrelian's Iron Coins. The Iron Coins from the event and the quest share design similarities but are ultimately different. It is currently unclear if the Iron Coins in the event are the same as those created by Avrelian, later copies based on Avrelian's coins or the original that inspired the design of Avrelian's coins.
