Colour contrasts?

[ffutures]

The cover of the RPG is going to be a lot of gold coins with dragons on them. I need to make the lettering a good contrasty colour - black sort of works but I'm not convinced it's best. I've used red a lot on previous stuff, any suggestions for an alternative?

Here's what the cover looks like at the moment:




Any suggestions?

I agree that some sort of white lining is necessary for the black text. It disappears too much into the texture of the coins otherwise.
