Each coin is precisely measured and minted so that 50 of any of these coins will always amount to 1 lb. when weighed together. So, 50 coins of any kind weigh 1 lb.

Farthing

A copper coin, wide and dense, engraved with the emblem of Sanctimonia on the back side, and a bag of coin on the other.
This is the lowest monetary unit.

Shilling

A silver coin, short and perfectly rounded, engraved with a castle on the back side, and the face of one of Sanctimonia's ruling body on the other.
This coin is worth 10 farthings.
Note: This is the 'dollar' equivalent.

Crown

A coin of gold mixed with bronze, engraved with the Sanctimonian crest on the back, and the image of a crown on the front.
This coin is worth 10 shillings.

Noble

A coin of pure gold, engraved with an outline of Sanctimonia as it would appear on a map on one side, and the scales of justice on the other.
This coin is worth 10 crown.

1,000 farthings = 100 shillings = 10 crown = 1 noble

The following is a list of common or average prices in Sanctimonia's market by which others may base their prices on. Due to troubles with the farmers and ranchers of Sanctimonia, food prices are on the rise.

I was informed that there seems to be some confusion in the monetary value of items. This is a notice to inform you all of the table of relative worth and currency values, and the shilling is in the range of 1 dollar with some fluctuation between items and markets.
