* They typically come in sets, although varying types and numbers of coyns within the sets, are common, there is a rough consensus of what a typical set looked like.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
Original coyns have been found in various precious metals such as [[gold]], [[silver]], [[platinum]], [[iridium]], [[monadium]], and even [[uranium]]. Sets range in size from six to thirty-eight pieces and are considered desirable to museums throughout the {{Imperium}}. Each coyn has a scrap value of [[Cr]]400 (if gold); to a museum, the value is closer to [[Cr]]4000.
* Copies of sets of coyns are made of aluminum, lead, or zinc, and are more frequently encountered from unscrupulous merchants or traders. Such fake coyns have a value of about [[Cr]]20 each.

=== Ancients/ Droyne Connections? ===
In addition to the Ancients-derived coyn sets, sets are associated with [[Droyne]] communities (called ''koynisin''), and have been so for at least 75,000 years. These more modern coyn sets are used in numerous Droyne ceremonies. 
* [[Sophontologist]]s have found similarities between the symbols on the Ancients-derived coyns, the older Droyne coyns, and the modern coyns used by [[oytrip]]in. The symbols on the coyns have changed over time, both when representing the same concept, and when symbols have been added or removed. 
* The modern coyn set contains thirty-six different symbols, the Ancients are assumed to have had thirty-eight, and the old sets have some intermediate number between thirty and forty-two.
