Crowned bust of King Alanus I of Bermania, wearing collar of the Order of the Bear over royal mantle, with Latin inscription: * ALANVS · D: G: BERMANIAE · REX · ORB: TER: NOS: IMP: VEN: COM: &c. (translation: Alanus by the Grace of God King of Bermania, Emperor of Our Terrestrial Orb, Count of Fairfield, et cetera.)

Designed and engraved by Woody Maringer.

It is our honor to formally announce this most numismatic event: the release of the Bermanian 50th Anniversary Coin. This commemorative off-metal strike of the Bermanian Coin is crafted from solid copper and finished with an expert patina to highlight the engraving of His Royal Majesty of Bermania, King Alanus I.

If you've not heard of the Kingdom of Bermania, it's about time you get out from under your rock! This small but spirited kingdom is said to be nestled in the East Balkans, near the Danube River. Here, you may or may not become acquainted with plywood bears, chickens of mythic proportions, time travelers, royal purple Sikorsky S-38s, and even dragons with a particular appetite for prince fondue.

The reverse side of this coin depicts a key turning point in Bermania's story, The Fig Revolt of 1974 (though, some say 1975) and His Majesty's subsequent ascent to the throne. Many events such as these are further detailed in Please Ignore Our Time Machine, a rich history of Bermania published by King Alanus I himself. Check it out, you might learn something!
