Gold Coins

Gold Coins, or Crowns, are the standard currency on Britannia and Atarka. Smaller coins exist (silver pieces and copper pence; also explained by Terri in Ultima VI, and seen as an Ultima I trinket), but aren't seen in the games themselves after Ultima I.

It is somewhat difficult to determine the worth of the Gold Coins, but for a rough pointer, a two-handed sword costs roughly 80-100 Gold Coins, while beef costs 5-7 Gold Coins. The Royal Seal is on the front of the Britannian Gold Coin, while the back side shows the Codex Symbol

Gold Coins are also the currency of the ancient Serpent Isle and in the Inn of the Sleeping Bull. On Serpent Isle, the exchange rates are as follows:

1 Gold Coin = 0.5 Monetari

1 Gold Coin = 2 Filari

1 Gold Coin = 1.5 Guilders

As an Extra with Ultima I
A small pouch with 1 gold, 3 silver and 1 copper coin came as the trinket with the 1986 edition (the re-issue) of Ultima I.
