Note that the relative values of different countries' currencies given here don't always match what Adramal and Alesin get. Sometimes the exchange rate has the money changer's profit built in, and sometimes someone is taking advantage of an ignorant or desperate foreigner.
The smallest denomination is a copper coin. Sixteen of these make one silver. Twelve silvers make a gold coin, called a crown. There are quarter-silver and half-silver coins, though these are rare at the time the story is set. In the absence of these, people often cut silvers into halves and quarters for convenience, although this is not, strictly speaking, legal. The going rate for manual labour is two or three coppers an hour. In Death & Magic, Tagahra says that a Captain in the Kyer Altamar Watch earns four and a half silvers a day.
Twelve coppers make one silver, and twelve silvers make a gold coin known as a royal. The silver is worth about 1.2 Centadorian silvers.
The Anorenes use a decimal system, in which ten copper leshats make one silver rathat, and ten rathats make one gold hokhat. A rathat is worth about two Centadorian silvers.
