I believe I can answer this, although I am perhaps not the authority you are looking for... your responsibilities and purview are not spelled out anywhere, to my knowledge. As President of the Royal Bank and Post, you are the deputy of the Minister of Finance. You should be applying these questions on duties and rights to him... he is your boss, and he will tell you. But I suspect the questions of which design to use will be your job to decide. Look at them, ask for more submissions, and pick one, is my advice.
However, I can tell you this:
Government funds do not amount to 50 euros. Government funds do not amount to much of anything, in fact. When people like the King pay to maintain our website, when I pay to run off fliers, it comes out of our pockets. If you intend to carry this forward, you will probably be paying out of your own pocket. Taxation would have to occur or I would have to sell a LOT of TalossaWare before this will be different.
And while this is not my responsibility, I can tell you that no one is going to buy the coins off of eBay except citizens, and thus there is no need for eBay at all. In perspective, this only makes sense... who is going to pay for a coin which means nothing to them and which they foolishly are under the impression is not legal tender?
You say you are willing to fund the project with 100 euros... if you wish to do so, that is wise, but it seems to me like you will be spending overmuch. If you have the coins made in Europe, sent to Finland, and then sold/distributed to citizens (mostly in America), you will be adding on a huge overhead which seems likely to be triple the actual cost of a coin, will you not?
I would suggest, (and this is only a suggestion as a fellow cabinet employee), that it would be wiser for you to administrate this, but arrange for the coins to be made in America and shipped to the King. A majority of Talossans live in America, and this would be much cheaper. I can understand how you might not want to do this, however, especially since you would be funding it and would want to retain them.
I hope I have helped... this certainly is a sticky wicket, is it not? I ran into much the same problem with some of my duties... parts of the job I do are also assigned to MinFin, for example.
