The Currency Of The Pythos Empire
The currency of The Pythos Empire comes in three main denominations, gold, silver, and copper. All three are of the same size, about an inch wide, with slightly different thicknesses and weights due to the density differences of the metals.
All display the iconic serpent and eggs in a squared field on the reverse side. This reverse contains an outline of a serpent moving from the bottom towards the top of the coin and has two eggs in each of the four corners. The eggs represent each city-state and the serpent represents Pythos as a whole and capable force. Additionally the rulers name and date of manufacture are inscribed on each coin as well.
The copper currency, known as a "Copper Claw", has the serpent and eggs on one side and has a depiction of two sets of monitor claws raking the coin from bottom to midway, where the claws are shown.
The silver currency, known as a "Silver Serpent", has the serpent and eggs on one side and has a depiction of a snake looping into an infinity sign, holding its tail in its mouth.
The gold currency, known as a "Gold Fang", has the serpent and eggs on one side and has a depiction of a cobra’s head with its mouth stretched open and forked tongue sticking out, barring its fangs.
