Sestertius Signum
For legal purposes, a Sestertius Signum, like any Nova Roma coin is a trade token for use within Nova Roma, not an attempt to undermine the common currency of any macronation.
Nova Roma sets the redemption value of a Sestertius Signum at 50 US cents (or the equivalent in other currencies). Nova Roma guarantees to redeem coins at this value so that they may be used as trade coinage at events, within NR Provinciae, trade with Ordo Equester vendors and more. Coins that have been deliberately defaced or altered are non-reedemable.
