The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This made it worth about a month's wages for a skilled worker, such as a craftsman or a soldier.
- Distinguishing between these uses can be extremely difficult: the will of the Anglo-Saxon king Eadred, who died in 955, illustrates the problem well with its request that "two thousand mancuses of gold be taken and minted into mancuses".
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mancus article was read about 5,800 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 53 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
