Medal King

The Medal King is the king of a small island who collects small medals in exchange for various and often valuable items and equipment. He made his first appearance in Dragon Warrior IV and has appeared in every game since. There are 100 small medals in each game to give to him. Generally after you give the Medal King about 15 medals he will award you with a new prize and will continue to exchange prizes for the medals until you give him the 100th medal and he rewards you with the final prize. The prizes you can obtain from the Medal King vary a bit from game to game but are generally items like the Sword of Miracles, Sage's Stone, Staff of Jubilation, Metal Babble Helm, and the Mystic Armor.
