Towergirls Charts: Gen 4, Griffin Princess of Bronze Columns Kingdom
🕑 Added 2019-06-27 06:44:29 +0000 UTCEvery realm prints it's own coins. The values of bronze, silver, and gold coinage are all set to the value for the weight. It is, however, well known that there are certain kingdoms that are simply more trustworthy in their coinage compared to the others, and whose coinage sets the standard by which all others are measured. When it comes to gold coins, Colossal Caravans sets the standard. It also happens to set the continental standard for vicious reprisal towards people who forge those coins.
When it comes to silver coins Labyrinthian Mine sets the standard not just in value and quality but also in the artistic work packed into each disc. The Dwarves do not use gold for their own coinage, considering it far too valuable a metal to contaminate with base trade, and do not trust in lesser metals. They believe the purifying properties of silver to have an equally purifying effect upon any deals and transactions, curing those engaging in business of ill will and intent.To this end they do not use runic magic, but instead incredibly intricate carvings so fine that even illusionists have trouble making copies.
Of all the coins that are trusted however, there can be no doubt that those produced by the banks and mints of the Bronze Columns Kingdom are held in the very highest regard (With even the Red Dragon Princess claiming they are the tastiest coins in all the land). So honest and discerning are the bankers, that it has lead to the belief that lies cannot be told in the presence of a Griffin at all. They use a combination of incredibly detailed work, magical enchantment, and special alloys to insure the weight and value of their coins are perfectly matched, and thus, while it is common practice to bite any bronze coin one might be given bearing the stamp of another kingdom, for bronze coins are so very easy to forge (though their small value makes them unlikely targets for forgeries, despite their ubiquitous), those bearing the marks of Bronze Column are always taken at face value, for to fake one would require more effort and money that one could possibly make back from the forgeries so produced.
