Not to take away from this beautiful piece of art, but it's a take on "reddit silver", an equally silly pic of a MSPaint coin that's used on reddit as a tongue-in-cheek (and free) alternative for reddit gold awards.
Beyond the simple reason "don't have money for that right now", it became especially popular since lots of people wanted to show appreciation for posts without supporting reddit's model.
