Electrum

Electrum is a naturally occurring silver-gold alloy with half the value of pure gold: alloys are primarily gold and silver (20–80% of each), with trace amounts of copper, platinum, and other metals. When used for coinage, the amount of gold was lower than local natural alloys showing that the minters were adding silver to reduce the gold percentage. The color of electrum alloys (described as white gold, pale gold, or green gold) depended on the ratio of silver and gold (white- or pale-yellow) and trace elements such as copper (greenish-yellow) Electrum is primarily used in dwarvish socienties but is accepted as currency throughout most places in Cruyan.
