I suspect at least part of it is that she is a woman. That on top of being a shaman and thus outside traditional paths of advancement may bar her from kingship.

If we didn't have Religious Authority, would the cavalry innovations have cost stability instead?

Would you rather lose stability and/or legitimacy?

Currency tokens are valued at what ever the hell people are willing to value it at. The proposed tokens are made of shiny, semi-useless silver. You need to actively convince people that its worth adopting such an abstract concept or its going to get lots and lots of stink eyes directed at it.
If you start it in the goods production center like a true city the concept will spread with time on its own and have time to sink in. A generation or three and people won't remember it wasn't always a thing. This is already a thing in Valleyhome... its just being formalized.
If you try to spread it everywhere at once your going to have to explain it constantly and people are going to rant about the toes your stepping on. This is not an Admin hero so it shouldn't be something he pushes for. He has smarter people actively explaining it to him and it still takes a while to sink in.
Rural areas don't do enough economic traffic to strictly need this system yet.
So start it in Valleyhome and it spreads on its own naturally. Start it everywhere and cause major disruption and lots of wasted actions fixing it.
Regulation is the way of the Ymaryn. We should do the same thing we did to prostitution and gambling, regulate it.
Next turn we'll be at Econ 3, so we can safely spend up to 2 of it.
Assuming we don't get attacked, I'm thinking
[Main] Expand Snail Cultivation
[Secondary] Enforce Justice
[Secondary] ??? (Survey Lands)
Our Dye dominance is threatened. We must expand it ASAP if we don't want to take a stability hit.
Our Centralization is still low, as is our Stability. Enforce Justice is awesome.
We can't spend any econ safely, so I'm thinking Survey to try to find another mine. We have a lot of reasonable options here though, Study Forest would also be very appropriate, or a Trade Mission to the MW to try to get them vassalized or something.
edit: If we lose legitimacy but not stability I'll probably go for [Main] Proclaim Glory [Main] Expand Snail Cultivation.
I'd like to keep it near zero to slightly positive, and we can raise it by building more temples. They cost a [Main], 4 econ, and 4 art.

I'm 90% certain we can easily crush their city if we can just get enough warriors there. All we need to do is to continue expanding toward the MW, devour the rest of the HT by spanking their hairy not!greek butts, and then make a couple more docks building up to a Grand Dock which will let us get the speed evolution so we have proper longboats and then a plain size + speed combo that will start us on the path to decent specialized open sea vessels.If we can't crush their city, we could make our own city and build a wagonway ala Corinth to transport our boats.
If that place is based on Byzantium besieging it will be a nightmare.

eh....
If we get a city that's a nightmare to besiege as a vassal it will still be worthwhile, and establish us as the sole possessors of the entire bay.

Okay guys, does anyone else want to try Vasalising the Trelli In about a century?
They are one city, with one port, in about a turn and a half we could subjugate them and turn them into a Vassal.
They are massive dicks anyway and are threatening our trade dominance, if we did vassalise them we would make massive amounts of money over our new trade control over them.
What do you guys think?
Should we vassalise them next turn if we can?

That's one route...or we could use it as motivation to develop siegecraft instead and mostly ignore their fleet.
We have to either dominate at sea and choke them out or take their city directly.
Uh, no. I'm not even going to be polite here, are you crazy? They are too far to war and we have no diplomatic ties. Why on -earth- do you think we can vassalize them?

Or we could rape their territory around the city, which gives them their food, Viking style until they can either choose to starve, with little food from the land around them and no boats to trade, or kneel

Drunken Experimentation (Spiritual/Honour)
Death in service to the spirits is the best death of all, removing the fear of death from the truly honourable.
Pros: Vineyard gives +1 more Econ and removes 1 Econ expansion. Increased chances of innovation as less obvious ideas are tried.
Cons: Chance for -1 Econ on successful innovation roll as people try to duplicate his success. -1 vineyard expansion available for trade. Admin critfails can find the king in extremely embarressing positions.

Well, she's interested in the relationship of the heavens to the earth (hypothesizing that the earth too has cycles) so maybe she'll discover the cycle of the seasons and discover the calendar.
