Most magical items in the lands were cursed, usually in ironic ways. The Shield of Protection caused you to murder who you wished to keep safe, the Eyeglass of Seeing made you blind.
But the Wishing Coin wasn't cursed, not exactly. You flipped the coin while wishing out loud, in a specific way, and you wouldn't get the wish you asked for, but rather you'd get the cause of the wish dealt with.
Usually this took the form of the emotional pain just vanishing, leaving people aimless, catatonic.
Up until someone wished because of the lack of a standing army.
