Electrum Coin

Electrum coins are a Coin of Ruten and the only one in the set to diverge from the standard pattern of multiplying the value by ten. While they are forged in a number of shapes, their usual form is that of a square with a large hole in the center and two parallel sides that curve in. They frequently have engraved text along the outside of the square along with various designs usually representative of the region they were formed in. Electrum coins are worth exactly five Silver Coins. Many regions opt not to forge electrum coins due to the added time and effort required to make them. Unlike most of the other Coins of Ruten, electrum coins are not universally accepted as a valid currency.

Manufacturing process

Electrum coins can be created in a standard minting facility, or illegally forged in a mold.
