Coin form language FIRST PASS
Your insight built out: a coin isn't always a disc — its shape carries its story.
One coin material — warm gold rim, cream field, same sheen — differentiated by
silhouette + one motif. Six forms make the alphabet; the confident coins are spelled from it.
I held the kindness / phase-2 set for your pick.
The six forms — one material, six shapes
disc
the default medallion
badge
pressed into a shield → streaks / ongoing
ribbon
a race-medal drop → firsts / milestones
bridge-span
across a little arch → connection
seam
a gold kintsugi crack → repair
ember
a warm glow → care labor (re-lit for comeback)
Core-4 — recommended admit
Bridge
two strangers you introduced later co-created — two sides meeting mid-span
Hearth
the invisible support labor that holds a gathering together
Witness
your attestation minted someone's tile — an eye + echo
Mend
a consent-witnessed repair after rupture — kintsugi gold seam
Everyday achievements
Streak
sustained practice — badge, stackable
First / Milestone
a significant first — ribbon medal
Craft
base competence — the tiling rhomb-pair
Unlock
a door opened — keyhole + rim key-notch
Held for your pick (phase-2): Kindness/Generosity, Mentor, Edge, Listen/Silence,
Welcome/Fold, Comeback. I didn't design these — you admit few, so tell me which and I'll spell them from
the same alphabet.
Open question for you: do the forms read at a glance, and is the gold-on-cream "one material" the right base — or do you want per-realm tinting (Bridge = Plexee blue, Hearth = warm, etc.)?
