They dont show up on your map, and they just kind of appear on the ground. Watch the list of collectible items on the left of your HUD for them.A good place to look for one is in the Scarlet Forests Area 8: Underground Lake pop-up camp. To the west of the camp, theres an area to drop down to. Head over to the edge of the water and dive in to the deep part. This will bring you out on a small patch of dry land where you can (sometimes) find an ancient wyvern coin on the ground.Since you cant really rely on the randomly spawning ground coins, youll have to turn to other methods. Specifically:Collecting them from gastronome tuna (whopper aquatic life)Collecting them from curioshell crabs (endemic life)Trading for themLets talk about each of those in turn.Catch gastronome tunaGastronome tuna are a type of whopper really big fish you can catch after you get the tuff joing bait from Kanya.Gastronome tuna are only found in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest and weve only seen them during a plenty.

If you can spot it and snag it with your capture net before it runs away (wearing the ghillie mantle helps you stay hidden), youll get whatever it was carrying which in our testing has been an ancient wyvern coin.There are a few places that they tend to spawn pretty reliably:Windward Plains, Area 6: Valley Hideaway Campsite up the narrow path to the southeastWindward Plains, Area 14: Groundwater Vein on the large cave southeast of the campScarlet Forest, Area 6: Flowering Rocks in the underwater swimming area north of campScarlet Forest, Area 8: Underground Lake on the fishing outcrop north of the campThe first time you catch a curioshell crab, youll also get the A Prize Held High acheivement/trophy.Trade with RoveOnce Rove is established as a trader in the Iceshard Cliffs (near Area 20: Ancient Room), you can trade certain materials with him in exchange for ancient wyvern coins.
