Coins for the pommel of the sword. Originally the GL of NC wanted to use silver coins but could not find two that matched within their collection, so we went with bronze coins instead. I applied silver nitrate patina to the bronze (very interesting light sensitive patina!), doing so in daylight created a prefect "antique silver" finish
