Golden lion (coin)

The golden lion is the standard currency of Cormyr, equivalent to the value of a gold piece. 50 coins weigh one pound. One coin therefore weighs 0.32 ounces or 9.072 grams.

Prior to 1357 DR, the Lion was divided into 20 silver Falcons. After the events of the Time of Troubles in 1358 DR, the Lion was devalued so that it was worth only 10 Falcons. The size of the coin did not change, but most who carried them agreed that they seemed far less encumbering.
