Hârnic Currency

The Civilized kingdoms of Hârn use the silver standard.

1 Silver piece (sp) also know as 1 Penny

1 Gold piece (go), also known as the Khuzan Gold Crown, forged in the Dwarven Kingdom of Azadmere, is usually equal to 320sp but can fluctuate (up in times of war, down in rare occasions, e.g., after the discovery of a rich gold mine).

Other commonly used measures and coins

1 Azadmere silver piece (ep) has high value and silver content as is generally accepted worth = 10sp.

Rarer coins are in circulation or with collectors.
