Just a little history on the coins:
At the beginning of 2011 Painlord wanted some 'token of gratitude' to hand out to the judges of a series of Pathfinder Society games being held at a local convention. Being a bit of a tinkerer, I came up with the following simple coin for the Bay Area Pathfinder Society (BAPS)
It was very rough and done in a bit of a hurry. I told Painlord that I would do a better job for the next convention which was going to be held in May. He suggested that we add in the 'base square' so that figures could easily be placed into them to use the coins as large bases (they were already just under 2" for that need) so going back and forth with him, we designed the style you see currently. Inside the square is the name of the convention that they are handed out at.
These coins, unfortunately, are not for sale - in part because they have a copyrighted design on one side of them and I'd prefer not to get sued - but mainly because they are an award for people who put forth a lot of effort into having others enjoy the games (aka the game masters).
We are currently looking towards other design ideas for other awards/rewards (a couple of prototypes Painlord was pimping at the convention) and hopefully you'll see even more interesting and exciting things coming from the Bay Area Pathfinder Society.
I was gifted with one of these, and it is making a permanent home on my desk at work. :)
