White Coin of the Gossamer Tithe

A flawless white ceramic coin, warm as skin and impossibly smooth, with a single milky crescent worked into one face and a hairline silver filament trapped beneath the glaze like a vein of moonlight. It makes no sound when dropped, yet each touch leaves the faint scent of rain on stone and church incense. In lamplight, its surface seems to briefly reflect a tall veiled woman standing just out of sight.
