Heirloom

Cursed Gold, an Heirloom card.

Pooka, its corresponding Kingdom card.

Heirloom is a card type from Nocturne. Heirlooms replace your starting Coppers. Each Heirloom is paired with a Kingdom card; when that Kingdom card is in the game, each player starts with the corresponding Heirloom in place of one of their Coppers.

Trivia

Preview

I have this preview from my father, who had it from his father, who had it from his father. Who won it in a cat's cradle contest, if you must know.

Seven cards in Nocturne come with an Heirloom. Let's see one.

That yellow band means, everyone replaces a starting Copper with the listed card. In a game with Shepherd, you have 3 Estates, 6 Coppers, and a Pasture. In a game with Shepherd, Pooka, and Cemetery (they're coming in a second), you start with 3 Estates, 4 Coppers, a Pasture, a Cursed Gold, and a Haunted Mirror. See how it works?
