By now you all may be familiar with the "Numismatic Gladiator" Cheap Coin Challenge originally started by @Aethelred and @lordmarcovan - for those curious about the past challenges please consult the Cycle I Index: NG1-NG10. The first game of Cycle 2 was just completed with lordmarcovan coming out on top.
