I would have to vote for the Red and Black one myself. Looks like what the coin should be trying to represent. Just woke up, and ready to fight (Takeover).
I don't think Latin Phrases should be on the coin. It's exclusionary. You want the coin to be open and accepted by as many people as possible World wide. Think how Americans would accept a coin with Russian type fonts, or Islamic fonts.
Look at these 3 and ask yourself, would an average American like these on their coins?
English - The Coin is Number One
Arabic - عملة هو رقم واحد
Russian - Moнeтa имeeт нoмep oдин
Chinese - 硬幣是頭號
Seriously? You don't think Russians, Chinese and Indians like the US dollar or the Euro?
Maybe you don't know this but Latin is called the Universal language. That's why it's the basis for LAW, Math and science taught anywhere in the world.
I think we should do it as it gives the coin a purpose and identity and I've never seen anyone not like a currency cause it has latin on it: Bitcoin being a great example.
You don't see bitcoin having issues in China, America, Russia, etc.
Cause unlike the languages you listed, Latin is a dead language, it's nobody's language and so there's nothing to be offended by. It's classy, historic and it adds meaning.
I'm ok either way - but I'd like to see more opinions on the matter.
Luke and Friction as well. Whatever is decided by the group is OK with me.
