There's a wiki article in French that notes some facts about these coins:

I don't usually crosspost because there's not an easy button for it on Kbin, but I'll crosspost this one since you brought it up!

Haha thanks! I was wondering if I was missing that handy x-post button on kbin. I can wait for features, but it's frustrating to not know if they're there or not.

I do miss the ancient coins sub from Reddit, but I assume they're riding out the storm and haven't lost most of their core contributors. The placeholder magazine in kbin seems to have been staked by one of their regulars, but no one has committed to it. Early days.
