A great way to make treasure memorable is to describe or name the coins. This is what I've got for the relics of past nations:
Cormanthyr: ... [Cormanthyr p. 63]
Athalantar: crown (gold) [Hand of Fire p. 2]
Waterdeep (ancient): toal (gold) [Campaign Guide to Undermountain p. 69]
Let's try a Realmslore hunt. |

Great Reader Faraer,
I believe this includes a pretty comprehensive list of currency for the Realms:

Best regards,

Ah. Okay, I didn't know that.  |

The modern toal is a brass coin, the ancient one is electrum one side, gold the other, three inches across, now considered good luck pieces. |

The toal is a current Waterdeep coin, though, not a 'vanished' one. |

This information is surprisingly obscure, but I'm sure I've missed some. |

For instance, the copper/silver/electrum/gold/platinum currency of Sembia is steelpense/hawk/electrum/[various]/[none], while the mint of Selgaunt produces penny/raven/ring/fivestar/sun.
Oh, ancient coins....... Hmmm, I could give you drow coins, but I hardly think that's what you want, hmm? |

While this is not Ancient Nations this may be useful here:
In Cormyr, coinage is as follows:
Copper pieces= Copper thumbs
Silver pieces= Silver Falcons
Electrum Pieces= Blue eyes
Gold pieces= Golden lions
Platinum Pieces= Tricrowns
In Amn, coinage is as follows:
Copper pieces= Fandars
Silver pieces= tarans
Electrum Pieces= Centaurs or Decimes
Gold pieces= Dantars
Platinum Pieces= Roldons or pearls
In Calimport, coinage is as follows:
Copper pieces= unarches
Silver pieces= decarches
Electrum Pieces= centarches
Gold pieces= bicentas
Platinum Pieces= kilarches
In Waterdeep, coinage is as follows:
Copper pieces= Copper nibs
Silver pieces= Shards
Electrum Pieces= Moons
Gold pieces= Dragons
Platinum Pieces= Suns
Plus Waterdeep has two specials coins the Toal (2 gold piece value) and the Harbor Moon (50 gold piece value).
The Conversion Rates are as follows:
100cp= 100 copper pieces
= 10 silver pieces
= 2 Electrum pieces
= 1 gold piece
= 1/5 Platinum Piece.
From FRCS- A grand tour of the Realms page 26. Hope this is useful!
