Pentagram Coin

It isn't exactly clear, what the Pentagram Coin is supposed to be. It is a real metal coin with a pentagram engraved in it? It was shipped with the original release of Ultima VIII as a trinket. The most likely explanation is that it is one of the symbols of Sorcery, which looks much like the Pentagram Coin, but are black.

Of course dozens of other explanations can be imagined as well.

There are numerous pentagrams present in Ultima VIII. In Ultima VIII, the pentagram represents an item of magical power and is used for the binding of sorcery spells. The pentagram is also present on the original front cover of the Ultima VIII box (later releases did not have it), and caused much controversy during the release of the game.
