Final Fantasy IX

Stellazio Side Quest

There is a collector of Coins in Treno who will reward you for finding them. There are 13 Coins scattered throughout the land. Here are the coin names, where to find them, when you can first get them, and what Queen Stella gives you for turning them in. After the 12th reward, you’ll get the coins back and have to find number 13.

Reward Note: The rewards listed below assume you bring the coins to Queen Stella in the order shown here. If you turn them in in a different order, the coin locations don't change, but the reward tied to each turn-in will.

Disc 1

First chance: Dali, Disc 1 / Reward: 1,000 Gil

When you first enter the town of Dali and have spent the night in the inn, head over to the windmill and (without talking to Vivi) go inside and look in the upper left corner of the main room. No this isn’t FF7. You don’t have a suicidal member added to your party in this game.

Inscription: The story of 12 Zodiacs. The 11 Zodiacs pondered. How best to catch heart? headed east.

First chance: Burmecia, Disc 1 / Reward: Phoenix Pinion

After getting the above, head up the stairs to the right, then down the ladder on the next screen. Behind the item shop there (the back right corner) is the coin hidden on the ground.

First chance: Madain Sari, Disc 2 / Reward: 10,000 Gil

When you first visit Madain Sari, search around the upper right edge of the fountain in the middle of town (the fountain looks broken at the correct spot).

Inscription: was a perverse fellow. He would always walk in the opposite direction of the sun. Would he ever see ?

Disc 3

First chance: Alexandria, Disc 3 / Reward: Black Belt

At the beginning of Disc Three, you’ll be Zidane wandering around Alexandria. When you first cross the moat in the boat (hey that rhymes! Would a goat hair life jacket designed to keep you warm while you went from town to castle be a goat moat boat float coat? Oh, sorry. I got distracted there.) you can enter the tower on the left. Go in, then take the door on the left leading to the room with the statue of Neptune. The is on the floor in the back.

Final Coin

Final coin: after Robe of Lords / Reward: Cinna’s Hammer

After you receive the for giving Stella the , talk to her again. Tell her there is one more, and you’ll get all the back. The writing on the is evidently the key to the location of the 13th.

From this, you are supposed to figure out that you need to look where you looked for all the other coins. I’ll give you a hint - the story seems weird. That’s right, head to Quan’s Dwelling! Go around the pillar, down the rope and search where you found the . Under where it used to be, you’ll find the coin.

Inscription: Their future was uncertain, but and kissed in the light of dusk. That moment meant everything. =by =
