Soul coins are devine artifacts that are created in the Celestial Realm when a mortal is born. These coins are forged in the Mint by the "Arcane Machine". This machine was created by "Mr Silver" AKA "Agies" (with the help of some other gods, Leafy included) in the time of the Cataclysm.
If a coin falls down to the mortal realm, look like a worthless ceramic gambling chip.
When someone is born, a coin appears in the mint. It is then distributed to a God either at a shareholder meeting or through gambling. Whoever possess the coin will have control over person and their destiny, and their personalityand beliefs starts to shift towards that of the possessor.
When gods trade coins for favours or sport, it looks trivial in the Celestial realm, but it could be a drastic event for the mortals involved on Aryn. A mortal can in crisis like losing a parent or spouse, being severely sick, or being wounded in battle, begins to question their entire faith or existence. It is often during these times that coils are exchanged.
If you pledge your soul to a deity, your soul coin belongs to them. The deity with the most soul coins has the most power in the celestial realm.
