Dwarven Coins are precious metal coins minted by dwarves in the Armed Nation of Dwargon. They are the most widely circulated currency in the world. Each dwarven coin is enchanted with Engraving magic and is rigorously regulated with serial numbers, thus the merchants would be able to instantly detect real coins from counterfeits.
Denominations
There are four denominations available, made of different materials: Copper Coins ｢銅貨, dōka｣, Silver Coins ｢銀貨, ginka｣, Gold Coins ｢金貨, kinka｣ and Stellar Gold Coins ｢星金貨, seikinka｣. Each superior denomination is equivalent of 100 of inferior ones. Depending on the area their value can vary greatly.[1]

Stellar Gold Coins
Stellar Gold Coins are produced with a specialized dwarven process and instilled with a compressed supply of Magicules, giving them an artistic value beyond their monetary one. Dwargon can only produce a single stellar gold coin in a month. They are chiefly reserved for large business transactions and payments between nation-states. With a denomination this large, it is really more like a security certificate.
