The Krewe Coin of Fellowship

In 1995, the newly elected King Neptunus Rex XVII, Paul Martin began a new tradition for Ye Mystic Krewe of Neptune. At his royal coronation he presented each active member with a token that he dubbed The Coin of Fellowship. Each subsequent king has kept the tradition alive by presenting each member a coin that is engraved with that member’s permanent coin number. The number is never forsaken or used again.

They are as follows:

1. The Challenge: A member may ask another member present their coin. If they do have their coin, the asking member is obliged to buy the challenged member a drink. If the challenged member does not have his coin, that member must buy the drink.

2. The coin presented must be the coin of the Current King.

3. Past Kings may carry and present their own coin at anytime.

4. The coin of the Previous King may be presented only if the member has not received the coin from the Current King. All coins are usually received within two weeks of the Coronation Ball.
