Small Pip
The small pip is the smallest coin denomination of currency within the Grand Duchy of Canyndor. The Small Pip was once aptly named as it was a tiny pure silver coin but now comes in the form of a medium-sized 40% Silver coin, and is primarily used by the peasantry for everyday purchases. The small pip found its origins of Grand Duke Veli III who had become furious due to the Pip being cut in half and various sized pieces due to lowering costs and the inconvenience of bartering within urban settings. The Small Pip was to solve this problem by being a quarter of what the Pip was worth. Though the sizes and designs of the small pip have varied during its existence, it has invariably been a small bronze coin, often the target of derision by many who see the tiny coin as a nuisance. While it is true that a dropped small pip may be as unrecoverable as a bolted horse, the small pip is still the most most widely circulating and used denomination within Doria.
