In the smaller communities most trade is done in kind as the number of official coins in circulation is fairly small and residents rely on trust networks to ensure a reasonably fair deal. 

The official coin of the land is the Gold Mark which is used for the payments of debts, major trade interactions and the purchase of fine, crafted goods. 

Far more common are Silvers. Nearly every petty ruler with a claim to land will at some point mint their own coins and treasure hunters often unearth sacks of old coins from times past. 

While money changers make a living concocting complex schemes of exchange, most people simply trade Silvers by weight and purity and outside of official duties, most transactions are concocted in Silvers. Even bartering will often see one side or the other throw in a few Silvers to sweeten a deal that is just short of being fair.

Merchants often carry pieces of silver rods or silver strands which can be cut to any size desired for trading purposes. Such chunks are referred to as “cut silver” and is inspected carefully as scrupulous merchants often intentionally mix in cheaper metals.

Officially the value of a Mark is set at 50 Silvers. Adventurers usually declare the value of anything they purchase in Marks. After all it is better for business if you sound like you are successful and prosperous!

At a typical coach station, a Silver will buy a place to sleep and a stout meal. In the city costs are often higher. Adventurers of course often pay a premium for goods and services, both due to the specialized nature of items they require and the tendency for everyone to try to make a quick buck when a band of adventurers stroll into town.
