Pikeons were coins used in the Kingdom of Manakapa, introduced during the reign of King Pika I. They were the official currency of the country and were necessary for business transactions. Today, Pikeons are worth a lot and collectors are willing to pay a lot of money for them. Interestingly, the first coins of this type also contained the ruler's name in the old Telamonian alphabet (bongobongo), which helped experts decipher it. Pikeons were also used in the Great Noobian Kingdom.
History
The Pikeons were created during the reign of Pika I, who replaced various coins minted by local princes with them. The currency takes its name from him. After his death, his successors continued minting coins. Few remnants of the earlier Pikeons remain today. The last ruler to mint Pikeons was King Kanala, who replaced them with another currency after the February Uprising. They were reintroduced as a means of payment by King Nohea after he took power and after the dissolution of the Kingdom of Manakapa, the currency was abolished forever.
Pukapuka and Great Noobian Kingdom
As a result of trade between Pika I and Noobius II, Pikeons reached Pukapuka. Soon, Noobius I began minting its own Pikeons with images of Rose of Pukapuka. From there, these coins made their way to the Catfish Islands. To this day, in the Hitsui and Pukapuka languages, the word for a precious coin is Pyaoof (Hitsui: འཔྱྃཨུཧྭ, Pukapukan: 𑨟𑨪𑨀𑨃𑨟)
