Billon, sometimes called
coin metal, is an alloy of silver and copper that is used almost exclusively for coins in the
Kingdom of Keyrand and many of the former Keyrish States. Regulated by royal decree, billon is to be 19% silver and 81% copper.
In recent decades a few of the former Keyrish States began adjusting the proportion of silver to copper to create their own versions of
billon. This has lead to a devaluation and diminished acceptance of some billon coins outside their issuing realms.
