Silver

Silver is a precious metal and serves as one of the baselines of currency in Faerun. When used as currency, it is usually cast into silver pieces (sp) of a standard weight. A common silver piece is worth 1/10th of a gold piece (gp).

Silver is also prized by artisans for its malleability and its aesthetic qualities.

Silver, like gold is much more common in Faerun than it is on earth, and is thus less valuable.
