Currency

The currency for the Andrato Kingdom was called the Ando Coin, and there were three tiers.

There was the lowly Bronze Ando Coin, the middle-class' Silver Ando Coin, and the elites' Gold Ando Coin.

The gap in value between these three tiers was truly great.

1,000 Bronze Ando Coins were needed to make 1 Silver Ando Coin, and the same applied for Silver Ando Coins to Gold Ando Coins.

Darius only knew that Ando Coins at the Bronze level could guarantee a living for all peasants and low-tier adventurers.

The purchasing power of 1 Bronze Ando Coin was enough to buy groceries to last a family of four 1 week if they rationed carefully.

As for a Silver Ando Coin, in terms of economic value, it could be used to buy good quality housing or property, afford one a few servants and keep an extended family of about 12 living like middle-class family for about 3 months depending.

As for Gold Ando Coins, they were almost exclusively used by the nobles and royalty, as well as top-tier adventures and professional mages. They could buy estates, fleets of slaves and servants, as well as maintain a whole clan for a year.

Darius held the Andrato Coin and flicked it around. It was genuine bronze with the sigil of a sword bathed in holy light on one side, with the carving of a woman with delicate features wearing a crown on the other.
