Avalon has a number of hard currencies and these are separate from the gold coin which is an entirely in-game in-role coin. Hard currency has value based, ultimately, on the fact it has at points been purchased using real-world money and has an exchange rate with the CROWN as Avalon's bridge between the US dollar, UK pound, euro, yen and 'real world currencies' and the coinage of the Avalon royal mints: the Mercinaen shilling, the Thakrian ducat, the Silverfallian florin and the Parrian doubloon.
