Coinage (Windrise Ports)

Currency

Coins minted in the Windrise Ports were:

  • platinum piece: "splendor"
  • gold piece: "crown"
  • electrum piece: "haebur"
  • silver piece: "talond"
  • copper piece: "haeth"

All the cities of the Windrise Ports minted their coins as necessity dictated, and the coins were stamped with the distinctive rune and the civic motto of their city of origin.[24] They were scrupulously made of "pure" metal and had a uniform size, allowing them to retain their value in places outside the Windrise Ports.


In the late years of the 15th century DR, the trade bars from the Windrise Ports were made of electrum rather than silver, as their silver trade bars became unpopular because they tarnished too quickly.
