     The Zorkmid is a small, roundish coin, about the color of tarnished 
brass (does brash tarnish?)  Well, anyway, it had the likeness of Belwit 
the Flat on one side and Flatheadia Castle on the other, plus the motto 
"In Frobs We Trust" inscribed on one side, plus a couple of sets of 
runes.  This is all working from memory, since I haven't looked at my 
Zorkmids in quite a while, but I think this is a pretty accurate 
description.  They are really cool.
