Shard (coin)

A shard was the Waterdhavian term for a silver piece.

Description
The coin was slightly smaller than a nib.

History
In the late 15 century DR, a customary fee of 1 shard was charged after a conviction by a magister, on top of any other fines.

In wartime, a lance tax that consisted of 1 shard per household per tenday was imposed temporarily upon the city, until repealed by the Lords of Waterdeep.
