Recent acquisitions from the Montpelier Library in Paris have provided a wealth of new knowledge for our researchers at the Society. Additional examples of the $1 notes were found in the new archives. These new discoveries have greatly increased our knowledge of these notes, and consequently our knowledge of the currency system as a whole.

The amazing new features of the $1 note are the four ships from the Nadiria fleet. Depicted on these commemorative notes are four ships that shaped Nadiria's history. These new notes also lend credence to the growing theory that the Dream-Dollar notes form a pictorial history of the colony, with the One providing the starting point of embarkation and the Three Hundred Sixty-Five being the final Transformation. Further study is needed to confirm this theory.

The ship on the obverse of this note is the Phoenix, the vessel that carried the Council of Elders, the creators of Nadiria, to the southern refuge of Constonia. The great minds that boarded the Phoenix represented the soul of the colony. The reverse of Winter's note shows the Sunset. The bittersweetness of endings shines a cool light on your accomplishments, and prepares for rebirth. This fallow time is for reflection and memories. This recurring symbol from Samuel's Brundt's philosophy, the Tree-Chimney, has many meanings. Many scholars agree that here it means Transformation.

ONE Winter, Obverse ONE Winter, Reverse

The flagship of the Constonian fleet, Reliance, is featured on this note. If Nadiria was the mind of the church, then Constonia was the body, providing life-giving sustenance in the form of vital supplies and goods shipped to Nadiria every Antarctic spring. On the reverse, we see the City, who's time is the Spring. Growth, expansion, success. Your destiny is to build: set one stone upon another, but be sure your foundation is firm. The Mystic Hand effects change, and contains practical wisdom.

The mighty Quicksilver graces the front of this note. The lead ship of the Engineering Expedition of 1855, it carried the church's best scientific minds to Antarctica on the valiant mission to hew the colony out of the icy wilderness. The Storm is on the Summer note's reverse. The primal soup. Within the Ultimate Void, everything is formless and without meaning. The task of Creation is set before you. The All-Seeing Eye envisions all possiblities, sees all potentialities.

ONE Summer, Obverse ONE Summer, Reverse

The Autumn note depicts the families of the colony fleeing the fires of the Civil War aboard the Katherine Rose. These men, women, and children are seen leaving a war-ravaged nation to start a new life in a pure, innocent world. The reverse features the the Ocean. The Water of Life contained in the Arcane Cup. New things emerge out of the chaos; work comes to fruition. Drink in the nourishment that is all around you, draw strength from your world.
