In [[Dragon Quest IV]], mini medals are collected by a king who lives in a small castle that is reachable by [[ship]].
In the NES version, a total of 32 medals could be found, which were used as a separate currency for the prizes offered by the medal king.  A player could get more than one of the same prize offered by the medal king; however, in order to get the best prize the player could not buy any other prize, as it cost 32 medals.
In the DS remake, the number of medals and prizes earned was changed to follow the system used in more recent Dragon Quest games:
