Currencies 12/19/2015 11:59 PM CST
It occurs to me that I don't actually know what any of our money looks like. It's not on the wiki either.

So what do the various denominations of kronars, lirums, and dokoras look like? How large is each coin, how are they shaped, and what do they depict? I assume lirums have a picture of Lirum on them, for example, and dokoras are called "heavier" in several places, but no clue if any of that is right.

I swear I saw a text description of them from a GM somewhere before, and maybe even a pencil sketch... digging around in case my memory is actually correct on this.

There's this anyway:

Heey, I knew I pulled that from somewhere.

So there's one aspect of lirums. I swear there have been descriptions of the rest in places, but it's nigh-impossible to find them on the wiki for obvious reasons if they're even on there at all.

I feel like this has to exist. What are the odds there isn't a numismatist among the volunteer GMs of a decade-old text-based game?



Your search-fu is pig dung!

If there was one, I couldn't find any information over everything I looked at. However, you're in luck because I've spent years collecting and appreciating currency from other countries/eras.

I'll see what I can do here.

In the awesomeness of the Forums to research, I have no idea where it was. But a GM I believe presented that the Dokora was the largest of the currencies, I believe the Lirums were smaller then the Kronars, however I might be thinking about that wrong. I think I'm remembering it right though because the coin worth is Dokoras are worth the most, then there are Lirums (and I thought it odd that they were larger in value to their size), and then the Kronars.

This is of course probably three or four year old information.
