PENNY

Simple form of common currency minted from copper alloys. Extensively used by the lower classes, and serving merely as change by the rich, all kingdoms are able to mint this coin, though only under imperial warrant. Pennies can be found in almost any denomination, though most prevalent forms include a rather large ten penny piece (representing half a guilder), known as a penny decate.
