Coinage

First minted in the Regalion Vales as copper and silver coins, the standard currency of what would become the Regalia were used as chits to add value to barter, which was at the time the standard form of trade.
Over time, each city engaged in the use of coppers and silvers enough that over time, they became the dominant form of trade, with high value items being used for barter among the upper class until gold was discovered in enough quantity that gold coins were minted. Rates of exchange set by the rulers of each city, ultimately aligning value for ease of exchange.
Once the wealthiest classes were engaged in the currency system, the platinum coin was minted in order to better accommodate trade between rich, with jewels and items taking a secondary role where once they were the norm.
Once the Regalia was united, and had expanded across the world, the mint of Aurelianorum became the only officially sanctioned mint in the empire, and was solely responsible for the creation and distribution of currency, strictly controlled access to molds, meticulous observation of detail, and draconian penalties for forgery.
1 platinum piece is worth 10 gold pieces. 1 gold piece is worth 10 silver pieces. 1 silver piece is worth 10 copper pieces.
The average peasant could be expected to earn roughly 1 silver for a full days work.
