What are the names of coins minted in Arrabar in the current era, i.e. 1356-1375 DR?
Do the other independent or semi-independent city-states that once belonged to old Chondath mint their own coins? If so, what are they called and in what denominatins do they come?
What were the coins of Chondath called before the Rotting War and the break-up of the nation? The same as the modern ones? The same as Sembia's?
And finally, what does Chessenta use for coinage? Is it different between cities? The same common names for them, even if each city mints its own?
And what did the short-lived Chessentan Empire call its coins?
In all cases, what are the most common coins for a transaction in Reth? What about in Arrabar? How about in Nimpeth? What about Threskel, what coins do they have? |

The governments of each Chessentan city-state mint their own coins, typically from silver and gold. The silver piece is called a talent, and the gold piece is known as a drake. The coins are usually traded by merchants; any attempt to debase coins results in the merchants refusing to accept them as payment. Coins are minted with a ruler's face on one side, and a divine symbol (usually commemorating a battlefield victory) on the reverse.
Lovely, thank you both.
Of course, now I feel bad that I didn't remember this tidbit from Old Empires.

Chessenta
drake = GP
talent = SP
I don't have any other information that goes beyond simply their names.
