Arburgian Silver (updated)

Arburgian Silver is the currency used throughout Arburg. It was established during King Harold I's reign. Atra is the only settlement that doesn't use the Silver, or any currency of the sort. They trade directly.

Material

Arburgian Silver is a system that uses coins. There is no paper involved in the currency. The coins were originally all made of silver, hence the name, but eventually silver became too expensive, so other metals were used instead. Each individual coin can be identified by three things: size, material, and imprint. Each individual material will be named below.

Manufacture

The two official mints(where the coins are made) are found in Asmye and Eflaria. Originally, the coins were made by blacksmiths and jewelers, until the counterfeit coins came into the market. After that, the Asmye Mint and Royal Eflarian Mint were established, both of which have a certain way of manufacturing which can be tested for counterfeit money.
