The brand identifies the
kind of issuer, and has a function to get the alleged name for the kind of
asset described. The alleged name (such as 'BTC' or 'moola') is provided by

Every amount created by a particular issuer will share the same brand, but
recipients cannot rely on the brand to verify that a purported amount
represents the issuer they intended, since the same brand can be reused by
a misbehaving issuer.
