Dragon Quest VIII's Mini Medal

A mini medal (also localized as tiny medal or small medal) is an item hidden throughout many Dragon Quest games. They are often found in chests of drawers, treasure chests, and other searchable locations. Collected mini medals can be exchanged for various prizes in the game in which they are found.

Dragon Quest III

Mini medals only appear in the remakes of Dragon Quest III. They are collected by a man living in the well in Aliahan.

Dragon Quest IV

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:

Medals	Prize
15	strength ring
20	ruby of protection
25	magical skirt
30	staff of divine wrath
34	kerplunk bracer
38	miracle sword
43	happy hat
47	mighty armlet
52	liquid metal shield
60	gringham whip

Once the player gets a ship after the hero's wedding, mini medals can be brought to King Dominicus in the southernmost island of the world.
