Ravnica's primary currency are coins referred to as Zibs and Zinos, with 100 silver zibs making up 1 gold zino; but there are other coins that represent multiples of these main forms of currency. No matter what denomination of coin it is, the back side always has a popular mural that includes all the guilds, with each of their emblems represented (including but not limited to the stain glass mural below however, the front side is embossed with the emblem of the guild that minted it. The guild primarily charged with minting and distributing currency is the Orzhov Syndicate, but the Azorius Senate and Boros Legion mint and distribute coins to those in their employ. Alternatively, the Selesnya Conclave, and Gruul Clans prefer to barter for goods and services rather than use currency in their own neighborhoods.
