Other Coins of Solista<\/b>
Large swathes of the Solistan continent never came under Korrilean\u2019s control. Some of this area, recognizing the advantages, either then or later, switched to the Korrilean Standard,. Others either chose to ignore it, or were\/are, too poor to afford the switch. And in some cases, too stubborn.
Additionally, there is a lot of \u2018Pre-Korrilean\u2019 (PK) coinage still in circulation. The Korrilean Standard has been in wide spread use for a bit over 20 years.
Pre-Korrilean coins would vary in purity and weight from country to country, with rulers adjusting the purity as needed to suit their needs. In general, PK coins had lower values compared to similar Korrilean Standard coins and fall into the following categories.<\/p>\n
Double Crown <\/b>= Gold Coin = 20sp
This was the highest denomination coin used by most nations. It\u2019s actual value would vary, due to content, by as much as 20% +\/- up to 4sp Frequently cut into halves and quarters. The Double Crown is close to Korrilean value = 1 Royal or 20 Nobles.<\/p>\n
Crown <\/b>= Gold Coin = 10sp
This is the most common gold coin previously used PK. It\u2019s actual value would vary, due to content, by as much as 20% +\/- up to 2sp Frequently cut into halves and quarters. The Crown, which is considered half of a Double, was actually smaller then half in weight. Giving it a value, in Korrilean Standard of 9 Nobles.<\/p>\n
Orb <\/b>= Silver Coin = 10cp
These silver coins, (and Hal\u2019Orbs) were the most common currency across most of Solista and large quantities are still in circulation. It\u2019s actual value would vary, due to content, by as much as 20% +\/- up to 2cp Frequently cut into halves and quarters. Orbs are also very close to their Korrilean counter part, exchanging at 1 to 1 with Nobles.<\/p>\n
Kolb <\/b>= Copper Coin
The lowest minted, base coin. The Kolb was routinely cut into halves and quarters and even eighths as needed. Korrilean Pence are actually worth half a Kolb in terms of metal value. Meaning that a Half Kolb = 1 Pence. A quarter Kolb = 1 Half Pence. An eighth Kolb = 1 Farthing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coins of Palador (Ilshar & Trusk)<\/strong><\/p>\nDespite on again and off again hostility between the rulers of Ilshar and Trusk, there is a long established foundation of cooperation at many levels, One level is in the minting of coins. Though shapes and designs vary, the weight and purity are kept on par. This has been beneficial to the entirety of Palador and was the inspiration for Emperor Korrlean\u2019s standardization of the coins of Solista.<\/p>\n
Note: Palador has very little Platinum, so it is not used as a coin in the region. Solistan platinum pieces are valued and accepted, often gaining a small bonus (5%) in exchanges.
The use of Electrum and Bronze coins in Palador dates back to the days of the Zamoran Empire.<\/p>\n
Solar<\/strong> = Gold Coin = 20sp or 2ep (gp)<\/p>\nAstra<\/strong> = Electrum Coin = 10sp (ep)<\/p>\nLunar<\/strong> = Silver Coin = 10er (sp)<\/p>\nErama<\/strong> = Copper Coin = 2bp (er or cp)<\/p>\nBos <\/strong>= Bronze Coin = \u00bder 2su (bp)<\/p>\nSus<\/strong> = Bronze Coin = 1\/2bp (su)<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Exchange Rates<\/strong>
Emperor Korrilean deliberately copied the coins of Ilshar and Trusk in an effort to boost trade and the economies of Solista. Consequently, 1 Royal = 1 Solar, 1 Noble = 1 Lunar, 1 Pence = 1 Erama, 1 Half Pence = 1 Bos and 1 Farthing = 1 Sus.<\/p>\nIn general, when dealing with PK coins, most merchants weigh them and go with that value. Some of the nations using the K Standard, actively seek to recover PK coins to melt them down and reissue as Standard coins. Exchange with Palador coins is conducted in the same way.<\/p>\n
