Halmynt
The Halmynt is the base currency of Vebedevia and is a favorite of merchants far and wide. Minted with the pure mithril mined from the Watch Line to Vebedevia's west, each coin is crafted with special, precision magic to ensure that the weight and composition of each coin is exactly equal.
Their construction from magic, mithril, and silver makes the Halmynt quite valuable, even in foreign markets. For this reason, goods in large cities within Vebedevia are usually quite expensive, measuring their cost in Fyarde. Purchases of items worth much less than a Fyarde are often combined with other purchases to avoid overpaying. A fact that particularly greedy merchants like to take advantage of.
Furthermore, the coins are enchanted so that when one Halmynt is placed on each side of a scale, they will always match weights exactly. But when placed one-to-one with a different coin, they will never match exactly. As such, these coins are often used to test scales for fairness, since an unfair scale will fail to match the weights exactly.
Pronounced: "fyar-duh".
Plural: Fyarden ("fyar-den"). Just as the Halmynt can be broken into two Bohg'e, the Bohg'e can be broken into two Fyarde. When this is done, the mithril ring reforms again, curving to rest on the edges of the silver disk to form the final loop for carrying. Fyarde can be reattached in the same way as Bohg'e as well, forming into a Bohg'e if there are two together, a Halmynt if there are four together, or Nestan if there are only three together.
Pronounced: "bow-guh".
Plural: Bohg'en ("bow-gun"). Though it appears to be one solid piece, the Halmynt actually consists of several smaller pieces attached together. They can be separated by intentionally applying force as if to bend the coin, and can be reattached simply by placing them in close proximity to each other. When the coin is split into two pieces this way, the mithril ring also splits in half before looping in on itself to form a loop for string or rope to be passed through for transport. When the two halves are laid atop one another and no rope is in the loop, they will click back together into one large, seamless piece, much in the same way as magnets attract each other.
Pronounced: "ness-tahn".
Plural: Nestanar ("ness-tahn-are"). Not as common as the other denominations of Halmynt, the Nestan is made by reconnecting three Fyarde, or one Fyarde and one Bohg'e. These are most often seen just after transactions, and due to the coins' natural tendency to reconnect where possible, there is usually only one of these in any given repository of Halmynt.
Pronounced: "hall-mint".
Plural: Halmynten ("hall-mint-in"). This eponymous coin is the base coin of the currency. It consists of an inner silver disk connected by magic to a thin, outer ring of mithril. The disk seems to float within the center of the mithril ring, though the two are connected as solidly as if they were of a single piece. The gap between the disk and ring is often used with string or rope to hold several coins at once. Some merchants mark their prices according to the length of these Halshejya instead of the number of coins involved.
Pronounced: "hall-shed-yuh".
Plural: Halshejyor ("hall-shed-your"). Any chain, rope, thread, etc. that holds a number of Halmynten on it is called a Halshejya. These are usually used for large transactions, and many merchants will keep track of them based on length of the chain instead of the number of coins on the chain. This is facilitated by another enchantment that allows the coins to line themselves up perfectly for comparison.
Fyarde
Worth: 1/4 Halmynt or approximately 1 Sun.Pronounced: "fyar-duh".
Plural: Fyarden ("fyar-den"). Just as the Halmynt can be broken into two Bohg'e, the Bohg'e can be broken into two Fyarde. When this is done, the mithril ring reforms again, curving to rest on the edges of the silver disk to form the final loop for carrying. Fyarde can be reattached in the same way as Bohg'e as well, forming into a Bohg'e if there are two together, a Halmynt if there are four together, or Nestan if there are only three together.
Bohg'e
Worth: 1/2 Halmynt.Pronounced: "bow-guh".
Plural: Bohg'en ("bow-gun"). Though it appears to be one solid piece, the Halmynt actually consists of several smaller pieces attached together. They can be separated by intentionally applying force as if to bend the coin, and can be reattached simply by placing them in close proximity to each other. When the coin is split into two pieces this way, the mithril ring also splits in half before looping in on itself to form a loop for string or rope to be passed through for transport. When the two halves are laid atop one another and no rope is in the loop, they will click back together into one large, seamless piece, much in the same way as magnets attract each other.
Nestan
Worth: 3/4 Halmynt.Pronounced: "ness-tahn".
Plural: Nestanar ("ness-tahn-are"). Not as common as the other denominations of Halmynt, the Nestan is made by reconnecting three Fyarde, or one Fyarde and one Bohg'e. These are most often seen just after transactions, and due to the coins' natural tendency to reconnect where possible, there is usually only one of these in any given repository of Halmynt.
Halmynt
Worth: base coin.Pronounced: "hall-mint".
Plural: Halmynten ("hall-mint-in"). This eponymous coin is the base coin of the currency. It consists of an inner silver disk connected by magic to a thin, outer ring of mithril. The disk seems to float within the center of the mithril ring, though the two are connected as solidly as if they were of a single piece. The gap between the disk and ring is often used with string or rope to hold several coins at once. Some merchants mark their prices according to the length of these Halshejya instead of the number of coins involved.
Halshejya
Worth: the Halmynt on the chain.Pronounced: "hall-shed-yuh".
Plural: Halshejyor ("hall-shed-your"). Any chain, rope, thread, etc. that holds a number of Halmynten on it is called a Halshejya. These are usually used for large transactions, and many merchants will keep track of them based on length of the chain instead of the number of coins on the chain.
