Imperial Currency
Most wealth in the world of Everus is standardized to gold, silver and copper. A commoner would be excused for referring to them all as the same wealth, but a merchant would need a much greater knowledge. Each rulership generally has their own currency, made with different purities of metal and different markings on the coins.
The Gold Piece; Crowns
A Crown Piece is marked only with the mint around the edge, a crown imprinted on one side and the imperial crest on the other, it is one among few coins that are not marked with a face. This is because it is expected that multiple emperors will pass by the time the money becomes irrelevant. It has a ~15% purity of gold, combined with electrum and silver it is among the most expensive coins in the world. The Silver Piece; Sovereigns
A Sovereign Piece is marked with the portrait of St. Thohtenhour who is perhaps the most important imperial who ever lived, and the imperial crest on the tail. A Sovereign is around 40% silver but mostly tin, which is fairly standard for currencies due to the deceptive number of uses for silver trumping the need for silver minting. The Copper Piece; Rose
A Rose, or 'Imperial Rose' as it is more often called bears the imperial lilies on the head side and the imperial crest on the tail. It contains ~80% copper with some ferrous metals mixed in, making it among the purest of copper pieces in the world.
