Notes
The LBE contained the Merchants Guild $2 Morporkia and the exclusive Merchants Guild $2 Civic Version which features the head of Lord Vetinari, in place of the Merchants Guild coat of arms Ankh-Morpork traders are much like the city itself. They have risen from the murky pool of citizens to great things, driving commerce and economics all over the Disc. To be known as an Ankh-Morpork merchant adds real value to a business and so the Guild have chosen a regal image symbolic of the city itself, rising from the mud flats of the River Ankh. Morporkia heroically riding her iconic hippos, Roderick and Keith, resplendently through the dense river mud to forge this mighty city, truly reinforces the Ankh-Morpork ethic that ’where there’s muck, there’s brass’. The adoption of this image by the Guild of Merchants speaks volumes about how integral commerce is to the very fabric of the city, and certainly not ones to miss a trick, the Merchants have also made very cunning use of the selvedge!
