I decided to have the dwarves make some electrum coins.  On the front of the coins was the human Kon Roarrelieved and dwarves, and it related to him becoming an enemy of the dwarf civilization.  I was extremely curious about this;  was he some unbeatable foe that had shaped the history of the fort?
No, according to legends mode, he was a soldier in some town.  He never killed anyone, "became an enemy" when my adventurer, from a DIFFERENT dwarven civilization, murdered him (along with countless others) a few years back.
It's one thing to have obscure people in engravings, but I always assumed coins had a higher standard.

It's like making a memorial to an unnamed soldier. Except that you can see the legends and thus know his name.

Right now we can at least build a statue and make a note there ... nothing big, at least something

That would be the coolest coin ever. It's made of electrum and has a war on it (well not really, but still).

His last name is relived. Probably his ghost doing something, or something along those lines

[leftycook]

maybe its a metaphor for dwarven superiority over humans. Or maybe your coin minter was told the story of a dwarf that killed a guy in a pub as a bed time story, and the near-anarchy of the average fortress prevented anyone from mandating a certain level of coin-image-standard.
