Welcome
You have entered the richest realm of arts and sciences in Meridies. By order
of His Majesty, King Gareth in the year A.S. XXXV the Meridian Moneyer's Guild
became an officially recognized guild of the kingdom. By this act it is declared
that Duke Gareth Le Bruin is honored with the title Patron of the Guild of Moneyer's.
We are dedicated to the pursuit of building interest in the minting, casting,
stamping and striking of period coinage. We are a group of individuals who participate
in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism)
interested in the art of coin production using period methods and materials.
It
is our goal, being a guild recognized by the crown
of Meridies,
to advance and disseminate knowledge of period
money throughout the populace: promote the use of
period style coinage throughout the Kingdom and
the Known World: promote the production of period
style coinage by period style method: and serve
the Crown of Meridies by providing presentation
coinage for the use of Their Majesties. The
Moneyers' Guild shall establish craft-skill
rankings and standards of workmanship, and engage
in programs to achieve these goals.
To get acquainted with our goals and objectives
and stay tuned to progress, we suggest you join
the Meridian Moneyer's
