#36 :: Pirate treasure

Miranda turned 2 last August, and we had a pirate birthday party - little eyepatches, telescopes and riches for all. The stuff is flashy, shiny gold pieces, cast-molded and plated with the same mirror-bright stuff they put on lowrider hardware. The inscription is beyond cryptic: AVAG CO BEPSIG CHINA a declaration of fealty to the hollow-eyed, corkscrew-maned ur-Grecian god thereon. These things are all over the house now.

As I say, I have no idea what it means. It's plastic - a toy.

What is this coin and what does it mean?
