Qhai Peseta
The Qhai Peseta is the legal currency of Qhai, Unaia, and the Durpacian Caliphate, and by extent, the accepted currency of Banilim and one of two accepted currencies of the Kingdom of Sipur. It consists of three main coins, though the value of each coin is only partially covered by their material worth. The rest of the value is covered by fiat and a long-standing trade agreement between Qhai, Unaia, and the Durpacian Caliphate. Due to this discrepancy in value, these coins are rarely accepted in the western and central world. The foundries of Qhai are responsible for producing these coins within acceptable margins, and the design of the coins produced can only be changed by joint agreement between the controlling factions.
Through the general agreeableness of the Meldrelco primarily responsible for the minting process, the coins tend to have significant design changes occur over even a single year, with new coins being minted for new monuments, important peoples, scientific discoveries, and military victories. This has led to the only distinguishing factors of the coins being their shapes.
The copper Zaire is the lowest value coin, and consists of a 35mm tall, 15mm, and 1.5mm wide copper oval lacking reeded edges. Zaires commonly depict particularly famous individuals or families on the heads, and the various symbols of the families and factions of the eastern world. Typically, two zaires are sufficient to buy a loaf of bread (0.5$). The silver Dollar is the middle value coin, and consists of an octagon, 30mm wide and 2mm thick, with reeded edges (50 reeds). The coin is minted as a silver alloy, one part silver and three parts copper. Dollars commonly depict famous events and stories on heads and tails, and are commonly used to commemorate both good and bad events. Typically, a dollar is enough to purchase a night's rest and a meal at a traveler's inn (20$). The golden Valdling is the highest value coin, and consists of an equilateral, truncated triangle, 25mm wide and 2.5mm thick, with reeded edges (75 reeds). The coin is minted as a gold/silver/copper alloy, approximately 30% gold, 60% copper, and 10% silver. Valdings commonly depict works of art, either miniaturized from larger pieces, or designed specifically for the coins. Typically a Valding is enough to purchase room, board, and minor entertainments for a week at a respectable inn ($500).
