I use an exchange of 1 gold = 36sp =360cp so you can live off a cp per day if ppor, silver a day if the middle class or clergy and a gp a day at least for proper noble. Silver is the main currency and was instituted in the age of darkness by the global monster kings for an aeon. The people of the Underland still use it as they are remnants. Copper was a dawntime's first metal used for tools and weapons made by dwarves and traded with other species freely. Gold is the choice metal of the third empire after the monster kings.

86 Coin of the Sphynx - can summon a sphynx and if you pass its test or solve its riddle will give you a magic item and if you fail it will try and eat you. The coin fades away as the sphynx fades in
87 Coin of the Lamia - if planted in a ruin with a baby skeleton a lamia is attracted to the site and will rule over other creatures and the ruin
88 Coin of Pazzuzu - this frightening demon protects pregnant women and babies from worse demons. Many will assume from the coin's alignment and appearance that it is an evil relic. The weilder also has +2 to save vs disease and possession
89 Coin of the Warlord - wielder can call upon a mercenary captain who will serve for a month for the coin. They will usually leave but may become a follower. They will be good at rallying troops on the battlefield. Such men are doing it as a penance for failing the war god and this is their second chance. If the gods are angered by the coin user they might kill the captain out of spite
90 Coin of the Griffon - wielder can speak to griffons and possibly befriend or recruit them as followers. Once you have a griffon friend it will carry you to a divine mountain where griffons defend the gold of the gods they use to build nests from cyclopses. If you fight the cyclopses you might be able to bargain with them or fight them and many wield javelins of lightning
91 Coin of the Celestials - the currency used by the peoples of the night sky celestial city, while holding it the wielder does not age while on the mortal world. Many will desire this item and local earth spirits will inform the celestial bureaucracy the coin is in mortal hands
92 Coin of the Beyond - lets the holder touching with bare flesh perceive horrendous creatures that live beyond the normal known planes. Watching these horrendous beings can become obsessive and a few wizards tried to visit this other world or release these things into the mortal world. They are in part like deep sea ore microscopic life but much larger and potentially dangerous. The coin has been outside the universe
93 Coin of the Daemon Sultan - touching this pre-human coin causes shocking visions of the eye at the centre of the cosmos. Contact with this star size god and its mental presence may cause madness in the form of dramatic alignment change. Those who resist will drop the coin, those who fail it desire to serve the mad god as the great cosmic cancer and help awaken it in all times and places  
94 Coin of the Primordial Ones - the wearer is able to breathe hostile atmospheres or water-like fluids and survive low or high-pressure conditions. They are also immune to acid and can communicate by touch with all manner of slimes and oozes and jellies but to be fair most are not great thinkers
95 Coin of the Scales - left as calling cards by those who serve the balance. When someone wishes to activate the coin they must throw it in a pool of still water or well and call for aid. The powers of the balance will evaluate your request or importance in the cosmic struggle and possibly send armoured warriors in service of the balance
96 Coin of the Decapod - linked to the fate of this ancient ten-armed land cephalopods that could once cast illusions of dark fantasies to entrap victims but most have lost this ability today and their civilisation. Now they are grumpy loners and more bestial but this coin will inspire them to unite in the old ways and cooperate in restoring their lost power. The holder of the coin can cast a basic illusion three times a day and is used by the coin as a psychic antenna summoning decapods from across the world. Some believe breaking the coin will restore the species lost power which they use to entrap commoners to eat with creepy sexual illusions 
97 Coin of the Monster - the coin holder instantly knows the location of a sleeping kaiju or gargantuan monster. If the creature stirs or awakens the coin holder knows. The coin holder miraculously is never harmed by falling buildings, collapsing dams, hurricane storms or tsunamis made by the monster though they might be inconvenienced for a while
98 Coin of the Dragon Queen - if you are truly evil throwing this into the sea and saying Tiamat's name will cause the wielder to know the location of a Dragon egg for them. There may be dangerous tests but the egg will hatch in a d6 months and requires imprinting on the coin bearer to work. The beast is at least part dragon and it is expected to be cared for and used in a crusade against evil preferably versus enemies of dragons
99 Coin of the Machine God - if planted under a village or city foundations the city will grow remarkably efficiently and settlers will be attracted and work for the community eventually desiring to build a great machine ziggurat dedicated to the machine god and technology. Within a generation, the area will employ superior technology and mechanisation and the people will grow superior.Once the great machine ziggurat is built a great metal statue of the god in precious metals and stones will be required for the god as a new avatar and act directly on the world
100 Coin of Crowns - used as a symbolic token to trade for a kingdom millennium ago whoever holds the coin finds they hear voices from the coin giving them advice the coin thinks will help its goal of reclaiming the kingdom and returning to its original form as a human noble from long ago. A cult and some commoners and bandits in the region have also heard the coin's legend and will aid whoever holds it to liberate the tiny kingdom from a larger one long ago
