How does Feudalism coin work?

By mrobohn2, in Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game

Hello,

The Feudalism government coin has me confused...

Does it mean: I get a coin for having feudalism as a government type, and I lose the coin whe I change governements?

or

Do I get a coin and keep it forever for having had feudalism as a governement? Would I get another coin for changing to another government and back to feudalism?

The coins in the rules don't seem as full as the rules for the other activities. It's almost like "oh yea, there are coins if you get enough you win".

Thanks for help

The Feudalism coin works exactly like coins printed on the map (German starting tile off the top of my head). You have the coin as long as you control it. So your first guess would be the correct one. If you change to another government from Feudalism, your coin count goes down by one.

Thank you for clarifying that for me!
