The design on the back of Twilight's pony-coin looks almost exactly like the design on the 2-bit coin commemorating the salvation of Princess Luna, and renewal of the EoH, in her world.

could you please post pics to show us?
I am curious about this now because coins are cool, as is anything Luna

Sure. I recently received this coin as a gift from a very awesome person. When I looked at it, I realized the "tails" side has almost the same design as as the aforementioned Equestrian coin. You see, in Twi's world the 2-bit coin is the one which is always used to commemorate special events. Whenever something really noteworthy happens, a special run of 2-bitters is made, and Luna's return/Element's renewal certainly fit the bill. I've already sketched some of them from Twi's descriptions; maybe I should try to make a finished drawing?

go for it. it sounds like your Twilight comes from a universe in which Equestria appears as a mixture of American, and British culture. this is a phenomenon i have noticed in both my own Equestria, as well as the cannon one.

my point being that both America and especially England commemorate some events with money, including changing who appears on coins to reflect a new monarch taking the throne in England.
