Arangothian Currency

Following the Arangothian Civil War and the establishment of the Confederacy of the Seven Sithrangel of Arangoth in 487, the currency system was retooled to better reflect commerce of the era. The Sithire of Arangoth agreed upon using a unified system across the seven provinces to promote trade and commerce with greater easy than each sithrangel creating and minting their own currency.

This system was influenced by the previous declarations by the former King Arlok from 469.

100 quaspins = 1 rixtle (or crown, in the common parlance)
100 rixtles = 1 lurinthoon (or dragon)

The old system of "Drachean Bank Crowns" was abolished in favour of a silver standard, where one crown equals to one rixtle.

Banking or promissory notes are available from the banking or counting houses scattered across Arangoth in major cities.
