Coins of Zyrr: Pūçamn (0.025d), Ædàçamn (1.2d), Dræçamn (28.8d), Dræçàmn Gor (115.2d), Zyrçamn (921.6d)

• Pūçamn. (0.025d) The Zyrri copper is a small, thin coin that barely registers in a beggar’s palm. Each coin is stamped with a short quote or psalm fragment from Zyrri scripture. Despite the abbreviated nature of each inscription, most Zyrryr can recite the complete passage by heart. Zyrri eccentrics sometimes spend their entire lives collecting enough Pūçamn to complete entire volumes of Zyrr holy books. On the obverse side of the copper coins is the ubiquitous cowled head with the skullish chin.
  • 48 Pūçamn = 1 Ædàçamn
  • 1,152 Pūçamn = 1 Dræçamn
  • 4,608 Pūçamn = 1 Dræçàmn Gor
  • 36,864 Pūçamn = 1 Zyrçamn
• Ædàçamn. (1.2d) Like all Zyrri coins, the silver Ædàçamn is rarely found outside the mountainous state. The Ædàçamn has more heft than most Old Empire silver coins, but except for its shape is appears unremarkable. The obverse contains the official portrait of Zyrr, a cowled head with skullish chin. The reverse contains piece of an elaborate arcane symbol. Many such variations exist. The legend that has circulated through Zyrr for generations claims that if enough coins are placed in the proper arrangement, a beneficial magic effect will be generated. Few attempt this, for the legend continues that improper placement of the coins can have devastating effects. The purported benefits range from good health to wishes. Rumored malevolent effects include plague, poverty, and madness.
  • 1 Ædàçamn = 48 Pūçamn
  • 24 Ædàçamn = 1 Dræçamn
  • 96 Ædàçamn = 1 Dræçàmn Gor
  • 768 Ædàçamn = 1 Zyrçamn
• Dræçamn. (28.8d) One of the smallest gold coins in the Old Empire, the Zyrri Dræçamn is only worth 24 of its silver counterpart. The Oðàri Talas, for purposes of comparison, is equal to 360 silvers. It is thought that the meager Dræçamn reflects the fact that Zyrr does little commercial trade with other states. It may also be a consequence of Zyrri money and power existing primarily within the Temple and Crown, which are one-in-the-same inside the isolated state. The obverse contains the official portrait of Zyrr, a cowled head with skullish chin. Each reverse contains a landscape depicting places of wonder within the Nulēun Vale.
  • 1 Dræçamn = 1,152 Pūçamn
  • 1 Dræçamn = 24 Ædàçamn
  • 4 Dræçamn = 1 Dræçàmn Gor
  • 32 Dræçamn = 1 Zyrçamn
• Dræçàmn Gor. (115.2d) A larger Zyrri gold coin used for international trade. Dræçàmn Gor are nearly identical to normal Dræçamn, only thicker and heavier. Special minters’ marks on the reverse of the coins, identify them as Dræçàmn Gor without using scales. Due to the similiarity between the coins, there are underground efforts to modify Dræçamn to resemble the more valuable Dræçàmn Gor. When modified by a skilled craftsman, only scales can differentiate between thec oins. Minting of the greater gold coin began in the 7th century DR.
  • 1 Dræçàmn Gor = 4,608 Pūçamn
  • 1 Dræçàmn Gor = 96 Ædàçamn
  • 1 Dræçàmn Gor = 4 Dræçàmn
  • 8 Dræçàmn Gor = 1 Zyrçamn
• Zyrçamn. (921.6d) The largest Zyrri coin denomination is the bejeweled silver Zyrçamn. These may be the rarest coins in circulation. Zyrçamn consist of a precious stone mounted in the center of an elaborate silver disc. Each coin is individually crafted and unique. The inset stones are uncut but polished. The type of stone varies based on availability. Outside a numismatic context, the coins are sometimes mistaken for jewelry. Some are repurposed as medallions and brooches. The Zyrçamn are known locally as the “Eyes of Zyrr”, for it is rumored that the Doomweaver can see through each of the stones. Despite these persistent tales, the coins do not radiate Orádra magics. It is possible however that they may be components for Zyrri rituals.
