Varcia

The officially recognized currency in Varcia consists of the Copper Petals (CP), the Silver Rose (SR), and Golden Bloom (GB). Newly minted and in circulation, the three values of currency represent the freedom and prosperity that the kingdom enjoys. Thanks in large part to the abundance of naturally occurring silver and copper within the region, Varcia can mint without issue highly-graded coinage. Copper Petals and Silver Rose coins are the most common among laborers, skilled tradesmen, merchants, and adventurers. Meanwhile the Silver Rose and Golden Bloom coins are more often recognized exchanging hands of nobles. Due to the great buying power of the Varcian currency many are able to enjoy a great deal of financial freedom.
