Currency

The nsula or copper axe-head is the typical currency across the region of Suru, in the south of Mocueyoh. A single nsula can be used to buy thirty eggs in one go. Axe-head coins made of silver, called nchêpa, are worth sixty nsula; a head of cattle can cost a nchêpa, a large new house ten of them. Notably, nchêpa are only minted on particular occasions—the visit of a king, a wedding, the fourth birthday of a child—and are inscribed with that event.

The askyron (the name translates directly to "crescent") is a silver coin stamped to one side with the name of the ruler under whose authority the coin is minted, and often the year of their reign, leaving a crescent shape around the rim. Crescents are common across Oma, providing a quasi-"standardized" currency, and even countries that mint their own style of coin (such as Paravarn and even Gykken) will accept crescents as good value for silver. A typical askyron is equivalent to 120 silver zeida (singular zeidon)—or, to put it another way, enough to buy a loaf of bread every day for sixty days anywhere in the Trithalassic.
