Artist's description, from 2014 on Deviantart:

This is one of the four Long Bit coins I've designed for my headcanon on Equestrian currency, this one being of the 500 Bit coin. The coloring design is a bit rough since I don't actually have a tablet, or a coloring program (had to use some website called Queeky and use my mouse to color in my lineart with flat colors) but it's still how I want it to look.

In my headcanon, 1 Bit is the equivalent to 1 US dollar. As such, there are different valued Bits, with standard bits being the lower values (1, 2, 5, 10). Long Bits get their nickname from the fact that they are oval and longer in shape than a circular bit, and also because they harbor the larger values (20, 50, 100, 500). This design, as stated above, is for the 500 Bit coin, which in value represents 500 bits (think a $100 bill representing $100 dollars).

This coin's imagery is of the Tree of Harmony with the Elements of Harmony in their respectable color, front and back, with the words "Equality, Love, Unity" in Latin and "In Harmony We Protect" on the bottom part of the front of the coin. That phrase is from a pledge Equestrians (typically soldiers) say:

In Equestria We Love
In Luna We Trust
In Celestia We Believe
In Harmony We Protect

This is one of the many coins I'd like to get made, so if there is enough interest I'll have this thing produced and pre-orders available soon. If you have any questions, feel more than free to ask. :3
