Minor holy artifact. There is no estimate of how many of these coins are currently in circulation about the realms. In addition, the origin of these coins is a mystery. From time to time they will be found, typically mixed in with other gold coins. There may be a single coin, or thousands of these artifacts. Clerical records suggest that these coins always appear with unique images on them, each time they are found.
A worshiper of Tymora, cleric or lay person, is 100% likely to notice something special about the coin. It will not radiate magic to a normal detect magic, but a cleric of tymora will find that it detects magic, and they will feel that it has a holy essence. Any worshipper of Tymora who has this coin will be given an image or dream of the coins purpose and how it may be used. A non devout of Tymora would still notice that the coin bears an unusual marking of unknown origin.
If any character, regardless of their faith, has the coin carried on their person once per gaming session they will be bestowed with a +2 (or +10%) to any roll throughout the day. Arbitrary instances of better than normal "luck" is a major method by which Tymora proliferates the faith, gaining followers. These coins circulate the realms, reminding the unbelievers of her power.
However, worshipers of Tymora who understand the purpose of the coin (granting luck), may choose to use the coin, by grasping it before a chancy moment and activate the power. This action doesn't interfere with normal actions, but they must have a "free" hand if they want to attack and use activate the coin in the same round.
Each time the coin grants a lucky advantage there is a 1 in 6 chance it will disappear shortly after. Devotees of the lady understand that others may need the luck of the lady more than they and her blessings must always be spread around.
