Ninety Plus Tasting Spoon by Kefena

Description: Kefena puts two silver coins in the crucible - one an Austrian Maria Theresa minted 1780, another from 1970 bearing the profile of Haile Selassie. Having changed hands many thousands of times in the past, for goods as common as salt and sugar, as rich as homes and camels, and as ironic as coffee, these trading devices have since lost practical application.
